Hi, I'm an experienced DE shaver, but taking my first steps in to SR shaving.
Howard at The Perfect Edge seems to have a fine reputation for honing and is now offering his own razors as well. I emailed him and he said his razors are suitable for beginner, but did not address my question re: grind of the blade i.e. Full hollow? Half?
Anyone have any info, experience or opinions on The Perfect Edge razors?
Thanks
Howard is the finest of gentlemen.
That's good to know. I was very impressed by what I had seen of him so far and he was very prompt and courteous with his email reply.
The third picture shows really bad razor geometry. Frown and a heel hook. I have never done business with this guy, just going with what I see on his web site. I wonder where he is getting these made?
Some food for thought.
I talked to him a while back. Then he advised he was having his razors made in Pakistan. OK, I'd love to hear how that's working out.
I have heard that this gentleman is a true magician when it comes to putting an edge on a razor. I've heard first hand reports from people who KNOW what's going on with a razor edge that indeed...he is that good.
He has been around a long time and has had a good rep as a seller of hones, especially coticules. More recently I don't know. If you do a search his razors have been discussed and as I recall not favorably.
Thank you for the observations, that is not the kind of thing I'm experienced enough to notice.
Thanks for the tip!
