I had my reservations with this oddly shaped instrument. The heavy weighted spine and the protruding toe, but my Lord this is truly a great razor. I've been doing this for a very long time, and tried many many peoples edges, but I'd put Toms honing over everybody's including mine. He is by far the best PERIOD!!!
This is a whisker slaying monster!!! Thanks for the experience ThomasLast edited by Tarkus; 04-13-2014 at 11:42 AM. Reason: spelling (why else I'm from Philly)
