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.

Have a great week boys, and thanks for the posts and pics.

this is officially last nights shave but i missed the deadline for last weeks SOTD

Razor – John Heiffor – Made for the Army
Brush – Simpson Chubby#2
Soap – GADA
AST – ALUM
AS – D.R. Harris Sandalwood

This razor was the result of a montage of restoration efforts from Pixelfixed’s scale material to Dirtychromes handle making to Geezers washers and my restoration and honing of the blade. All came together for this beauty.
The GADA shave cream is from Syria, and is outstanding. The Schwarzweisskeramik scuttle gets filled with water and microwaved for 3min. Prepare beard with a lather and hot towel face wrap, followed by….MORE HOT LATHER.. I always use too much.. I am clean shavin happy.
