Comments :
I'm hooked. I copied a "test shave" prep I saw last night, step by step. The frameback didn't disappoint either. I can't do a hanging-hair test on it, but it was pinging hairs at their roots all along the blade, and it passed the thumbnail test when i honed it last time. It might not be the perfect honing possible (I very much doubt it is, seeing as how I have nearly no honing experience), but the razor's performing as it should. It really is now just handling experience I need to gain... and that's only done through usage.
