Conclusion: Nearly 2 Days Growth and the J Sellers Performed Like A Dream, Very light very Smoooth, 1 small nick but you cant blame her for wanting to taste a little blood after years and years sat rotting now can you? This ol' gal was so rusty I thought the pitting would go right through the blade!! But thankfully I was wrong, still left a healthy looking "Age Mark" on the face of the blade.

Man I love these real old English Blades!!

This razor is wicked sharp and very smooth. It must have been a good day when I honed this one. Just a very small notch above the rest but enough to make a difference resulting in a couple of nicks.
