Robeson "The Razor That Fits Your Face" 15A250 (advertised as "Ground and honed for medium beard, skin exposed to the weather")
uneven bevel, slightly warped blade, tried to gently straighten... not pretty, but I got it to a point where I had to shave to find out
stropped 50x .5 micron diamond pasted strop
stropped 50x newspaper
hot towel -> lather (Williams mug soap only)
1x WTG -> WWR (wow, that was pretty smooth and not irritating at all)
1x XTG -> WWR (dang! it hardly feels like I'm shaving!)
1x ATG -> WWR (you've got to be kidding me! no bumps or cuts?! we'll see about that!)
touchup along jawline, neck with warm water only (still no ill effects!)
shower
Superior 70 Bay Rum -> so this is what a well-executed shave should feel like, tingly and not at all painful!
Wow! WOW! This razor and shave reminds me of the girl next door who knocks your socks off *and* cooks better than your grandmother!
