Once you get it honed I would like to hear your opinion before I place an order. I missed out the first time around, so it has given me time to do some research and there seem to be very mixed reviews as others have noted. I also see mixed reviews for brushes, soaps, creams, etc, so I guess its a fairly subjective thing.

If someone is able to hone it without too much difficulty and get a good shave out of it, then I am sold.

Now just need some definitive feedback on the Livi strop query and I will hand over my soul again.
