    Just an FYI, you are going to be in for a long night removing a frown with a barber's hone.

That was the only solid and completely flat surface I had at the moment. I've got a barber's hone and strop that I was (and am) going to use on it before attempting any shaving. I'll certainly need the honing and stropping practice anyways :-)

    I just fixed that. This is not a razor - it's a decorative artifact.

    Just to add to the thread. I'm a straight razor shaving newbie and also ordered a razor from this same producer. After failing miserably to cut hair with it, I ended up comparing it to several pocket knives. It was better than one (slightly) and worse than the other (much worse). I personally doubt very much if anyone would be able to shave with this razor, well, other than the guy in Russia who claims to be able to shave with a shovel. I would like to see the comparison between this razor and a shovel though .

    But at $60, it was for me an under-priced, unusable razor and an over-priced... I'll go with the previous 'decorative artifact'.

    Attached is a close up (as close as I could get anyway) of the lower edge.

    The thread has gone way off topic and is closed, if anyone wants to continue the current discussion they can start their own thread in the appropriate forum.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
