Well I honed her up last night, there was a pretty good edge on it to start with and it would cut arm hair at a push as it was but I took it back using my norton 1k and progressed from there. I've been having a little trouble with finishing lately but I really took my time and concentrated more on my strokes than I normally do. 'Back to basics' if you will. I finished on my 8k as normal ( ive got a simple set up, all i own is a norton 220/1k and a 4k/8k (until my nani12k arrives!)) but instead of using my crox strop I used crox on balsa on my tabletop and found I got really good results after a good strop on my leather. I test shaved it last night and I'm so pleased, I went with the grain and across the grain and it's the best shave I've had for months. All in all I'm a very happy man, it's boosted my confidence when it comes to honing and just shows that getting back to basics and keeping it simple sometimes works wonders.

Nice looking blade alright, great to see another old razor back on line.
