Thanked: 2Hart Steel razor
Pulled the trigger on a Hart Steel razor about two months ago and have hit it with about twelve shaves. Really like this razor. I got a 6/8 satin finished round point with jimps and the basic black scales from Classic Shaving.
The razor is really heavy with a sweet extended tang. I think the workmanship is excellent. The factory edge was very good, certainly shave ready (shaved twice with it), but I ended up hitting it with my "normal" routine and brought the edge to what I'm used to: finished with Naniwa 12k with some laps on balsa and chro ox and finally a few laps on felt with .25 micron diamond spray. This steel takes a fantastic edge.
The shaves are awesome. The near wedge grind is stiff and quiet, but being so sharp, glides through tough chin beard. I really like ATG with this razor. For my skill level at least (about a year of straights), I find a stiffer grind is easier with ATG passes.
It's really cool that an American company is putting out these razors. Great product.
