I just picked up my pair of double arrows from the post office. (got them from wojtec/open_razor) And I have to say they exceed my expectations at first glance. the packaging was just a plastic sleeve, but the blades were oiled. The scales are warped white plastic. The blade doesn't have a real polish and there are light grinding marks. The razor seems slightly bent in the shank.

Just for fun, I did a few passes on my black arkansas (20ish). Then I checked the bevel with a sharpie. It wasn't bad; the only place that wasn't taking an edge was the last 1/4" near the point on one side. The edge there actually looks like it might need a bit more than a black arkansas. I did a few more passes on the arkansas and stropped it (30ish laps).

I did a quick dry pass on my cheek just to see how it did. It was pretty good. I expect that when I actually hone and strop it, it will give a decent shave. I'll update this when I actually hone it and shave with it.

The blade may be a little warped, but I'm not willing to pass judgement on it until I've put more than a half-assed effort into honing.

The other razor looks straighter, but I'm not going to worry about it until later. I'll post some pics if I get a chance.
