    I love the tail on these razors. Must be a job to hone.

    just shaved today with this bad boy... and I must say, for how aggressive this blade looks.....it shaves like a dream. The smile in the blade hugs the valleys of my neck perfect. I had to pay special attention to the tip, if i took my eyes off it for a sec, it would have gladly dug a hole in my cheek without remorse. Over all, I love it. It earned a permanent spot in my 8/8, 7 day set.

    Beautiful razor. I've shaved with a couple of Charlie's framebacks and they are superb in fit, finish and performance.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks for bringing Charlie Lewis to my attention. There are a lot of craftsmen out there I wouldn't know about but for this forum. I wonder if you have honed or touched up the edge yet? Looks like you'll have to pay careful attention to making a consistent semi circular stroke--or is there some other technique people use to hone a razor with a curved blade.
