Ha! Not yet............call me a scardy cat! I am awaiting some soaps I ordered to appear and my shaving bowl before I put that sharp beast to my face!!!! I may come away looking like a hack! I will do what I read here on the site and do small areas at a time then progress to more area of the face until I get it right.

It is almost too pretty to shave with but that is not why I bought it to look at..........but sure is nice to stare at it though.

Very nice - one question, has the razor been professionally honed?
Many company's will say a razor is "shave ready" from the factory, and while sharp, they are seldom at the point where you will get a comfortable, or more appropriately, an "encouraging" shave from them. If you're going to take this fun journey, having a shave ready blade is simply a must.

Two formulas to consider when for judging razor edge sharpness:
sharp (factory edge) = irritation & burning
keen (pro honed) = irritation free shave
Both edges will shave, which results would you rather have?Michael70 likes this."If You Knew Half of What I Forgot You Would Be An Idiot" - by DoughBoy68
