Max, you're gonna love that!

Did you get from the Canadian distributor or John at Shavingshop? Did it come shave ready? or are you going to ride the stones yourself?

I have one close to that size (15/16), and had to hone. The steel is hard, but when it dials in, it'll put a big smile on your face. For all the threads about the taller blades being less maneuverable, even this noob gets a thrill each time I use it.
