That is one truly stunning razor, the nicest C-Mon I've seen outside JoeD's house.

Honest -- I'm not trying to be a jerk today -- if you're unsure how to approach honing this, send it out -- spending $20 to get it pro-honed puts you at $47 shave-ready, a fraction of its worth. It will then shave like a snake on fire, and how often do you get to shave-test that?
