    This razor is the most recent addition to my collection. I found it a couple of weeks ago and gave it a light restoration http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...tore-ever.html.
    I thought honing was going to be a nightmare due to a considerable warp in the spine.
    However it was one of the quickest, easiest hone jobs I've done. The edge and spine were both equally warped, and I used my narrow BBW & Coti to do most of the work.
    The resulting shave was amazing, sharp smooth and quiet.
    Got me BBS in 2 passes.

    Although it looks pretty wedgy, I was surprised how small the bevels turned out, no tape used with honing either.
