What I have always found interesting about the sta-sharp razors is that the Sears Sta-Sharps weren't marked made in Germany. I have little doubt that they were because I've got Koeller made in Germany that are marked sta-sharp on the scales and Koeller on the tang. They also have the same decorative band stamped into the tang.

If that were my razor, and I was starting out, I would either get it pro honed , or put it away and do nothing with it until I have learned to hone well with other razors that did not have the heirloom value that one does. IOW, make your honing mistakes on inconsequential blades.

Thanks for the advice I am very concerned with keeping this razor for a very long time. I think I will contact Lynn and have him do some pro restoration and honing on it.
