    I found this in the data base. Category:Imperial Razor - Straight Razor Place Wiki
    Maybe a start for your search. You can use the search box to find more info. You going to have it honed and use it ? It is a little honed out at the toe but should be able to shave if honed right. Good luck and welcome to SRP.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Ive been shaving with it for a couple of weeks, had some problems at first but got help for it in another thread. Im currently looking for a good strop, learning something new everyday.

    Excuse my new, but what do you mean by honed out?

    Usually refers to heavier hone wear. This can be seen on the side of the spine right before it hits the curve of the hollow of the blade..... I hope that makes some sense?
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
