<cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha>Outstanding shave!</cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha>

This razor has always been a major PITA to hone but with an incredible edge. After it went dull a few weeks ago I had a terrible time getting it back up to its formerly lofty heights. I could get it to shave well, but couldn't quite get it to that effortless 1-pass BBS shave that it used to deliver. I had begun to suspect my hardwood Chrome Oxide paddle was warped again, so yesterday I made a vellum-on-tile paddle and gave this razor about 40 laps and it's back baby oh yeah!

damn right i cut myself saturday with str8 in jaw saturday and i didn't want to use it today, cause i don't want those wounds to open again... haven't use that philishave in about 6 months and now i remember why it SUCKS with big capital S... it didn't gave me anykind of shave, compared to str8... i can't understand how some peoples can use only these electrical shavers (or whatever those are called)

A great shave - the beefy stainless Henckels never disappoints. This NOS razor deserves better scales than the generic ones it came with, and it'll be on its way to Louisiana tomorrow.
