I got mine shave ready on lapping film in about 30 minutes.

Started at 15 um, to 5, then to .3 um.

Easily passes HHT, TPT, ect.

Going to shave with it tomorrow in the AM.

Have one as well. Got one is shaving condition with a Little Devil hone. Very sharp for the cheap price of 14 dollars.

I wish we still had people in the UK who could knock-out a usable razor

Worked VERY well.


The heel needs some modification, maybe taking out the stabilizer to get a thinner section there, but right now it won't cut hair right at the heel. I use the heel for trimming the edges of my goatee.

The rest of the shave was great though, minimal pulling, but smooth as silk for the most part. a couple of weepers, no cuts though
I can't wait to see what a wedge can do though.

Looks like I purchased two of the last ones that he had. When I placed my bid I saw "4 available", but by the time I completed my order and went back to review the page it showed "0 available".

I look forward to trying one of these out. Now to go in search of affordable/cheap lapping film...

Update: I realized after I had made my purchase that I had provided my home address instead of my office address for the shipping address. I sent a quick email to Marek explaining the mistake (changed funding source in Paypal and didn't double check the ship to address) and asked if he could re-route them. I jsut got a nice email from him to let me know that he would take care of the change. It's not terribly important, but my office is much mre secure than my mailbox. Still, he went the extra distance to make a customer happy.

Another +1 to Stamps222!
