PM sent. Hope it helps. Also..Herr Aust was pretty good about responding to e mail. He did not answer every one, but did so with most and communicated well.
Right out of the box it was a blade that was surely "shave ready". I'll tune it up some on either a couple Naniwas or a coticule . Not sure which right now. One thing..this is a LOUD razor. If you are in the market for a "singing blade", look no further. This will put Steven Tyler to shame....
I'm curious if the sound is due to the grind, or to the "Schorkopf" (the shaved off end). If not, is the Schorkopf purely aesthetic? Or is it for affecting the weight/balance?
