Easy to hone and maintain. The pinnacle of blades, IMO.
Thank you for your opinion. Just to be clear my original post was not meant to pit this against that or to put down technology or other era razors. To each their own and YMMV. There are great razors from all periods and I have some great custom examples also. My original post was to highlight the skill that went into making that particular razor and the musing in my head at the time. I only referenced the technology and steel of today to show the great skill the maker(s) had and how proud I am of to own it.
