Damn, I thought it was a loophole in time so I could go get some nice hones for pennies!
It's hard to see in the pics what kind of shape the blade is in. When these things are well-honed or just plain new (you still see virtually new blades) -- they shave just beautifully.
Two things -- good luck shaving just underneath your nose -- VERY tricky. And -- be careful re-packing your razor -- the stones crack very easily and that's usually from people trying to force the lid into place.
