Been using this Imperial Razor, warranted from Germany all week and i,ve got nothing but great shaves from it. I honed it myself too. Amazine. My honing that is. Amazine im getting somewhere. Ha. 13/16. It did teach me a lesson yesterday. Taught me to pay closer attension while wiping the blade dry. Drew a little blood but i deserved it.
Attachment 259611i tried for a little color in the background and to capture the Eagle Stamp on blade. This is one i restored keeping the original scales but did repin.
