this is the cheapest razor I have, probably the oldest and, most definetly, theone in worst condition when I bought it. It was so dull that I coud run my fingers applying pressure on the edge without cutting into the skin, and that should give a good idea! So, I did my first attempt in honing it, and it took a long whils, with visible mistakes of uneven edge. Still nowhere near to be as sharp as my hollow ground but, not quite sure why, it gives me a shave way better, I mean not deeper, as I need to apply a bit more pressure, but after shaving I don´t have those tiny cuts on my throught too small to see them, but you feel them if yourub your skin. Something tells me that in theold days people where not so mad about passing the hanging hair test or, maybe, because it is a full wedge,that is how this kind of blade shaves. The shave is so comfortabletha I am now after another one but they are not easy to find, looks like. Opinions and advise always welcome!
Thanks fellas
