I have one of these bid on eBay, the last one I tried to get went for $202. I just find this model very attractive.

Well I practiced the rolling x, and I've had great results. My small amount of hone wear on my W&B is even, and I can cut hairs easily with the last 1/4" near the toe.

I did exactly that, I bought a couple of razors for about 10 bucks each and honed them until I could shave comfortably with them, but these were straight back/edge razors. I didn't realize that you...

Apparently I don't know how, if you could please educate me. I did try altering pressure from heel to toe, but no noticeable results. I don't want to use much more pressure, since that does not...

I bought a 5/8 Wade & Butcher that looks as if it has never been honed. I started on the 1k stone, and I'm not getting any contact on the edge for the first 3/4 inch from the toe. The razor has a...
