I believe it's on a steady diet of whiskers and lather.

However, it also behaved like a good wedge should with rigidity(no flex). I find that when I do ATG passes, I want a razor with minimal tono flex in the edge; I get close without fear of irritation or nicks.
While the razor is heavy, it didn't feel cumbersome or out of balance (even with that big ol' wedge hanging out at the end of the scales). With repeated use, I have no doubt that the weight and balance would become second nature. I don't think, though, I would want to switch this into rotation with lightweight 5/8 full hollow ground razors. Stropping went well, and I adjusted to the ornate spine. Oh yeah, the damascus pattern didn't wash away either. (ha ha)
Thanks to Joe Chandler for creating this unique razor. I plan to enjoy it for awhile.
