Either soap and water or rubbing alcohol would work fine, I'd think.

You know, just looking at it, it seems way too big for you. I think I could handle it a lot better being from Texas, you know?

I just rinse mine off with water and then wipe the blade with a towel. Never had any problems. Nice razor by the way!

I wipe mine down with alcohol, and it removes pretty much all of the oil.

I like the shoulderless look with the cut of the tang... did you get it honed?

could you show better the blade?

Sure. Is there any certain shots you'd like?

Oh, no problem. PM me your address.

Martin says that he makes sure the razors are shave ready.

I don't know if the travel of thousands of miles would have an impact on its sharpness (it was packed quite well); but I will certainly test it tomorrow. Let's hope the Wool Fat soap arrives tomorrow, too.

yes,
the left side, with a good light on, but not shining light to see the surface, thanks, bye

Looks awsome. How does it shave?
