Yes, the vendor hand honed the blade prior to sending it my way and man is it sharp. Its my second razor, the first was labeled "shave ready" but giving the Les Croix a go, I soon realized I might as well be trying to shave with my pocket knife. Today with the Les Croix, I tried to learn the ways of going ATG and I'd came out the other end with a bunch of nicks. Any tips and tricks on how to shave ATG smoothly?
Thanks for the compliments as well, she's a lovely lovely razor.
