So I got the Revisor I decided on for my birthday. It's the 6-004 form their website--not actually my first choice, but they were sold out of the 6-0020. It's a lovely blade, though. The balance (as in the aesthetic balance, not the actual physical balance) is really good. Well proportioned, with good attention to the details. The gold wash is even (for now) and well applied. The etching is very nice, too...it shows a lot of good details.

In use, the razor fits my hand well. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the grip just seemed to fall into my hand right away, and it was very comfortable to hold. I hadn't even realized that MATTERS until I held this one.

It isn't perfect, though...the scales are a bit uneven at the butt, so the spacer is clearly visible when you look at the face of the razor straight on. Also, there are some minor grind marks on the tang which don't please me immensely. However, it is a hand made razor, and it is a very very NICE razor, and I'm happy with it.

I shaved with it this morning, and it was good. Not great, but good. The edge is clearly shave ready, just not FANTASTIC shave ready. Hoglahoo, for example, put a better edge on my Wapi.
But I like it, and it's fun to use, and I'm a happy customer!!!
BTW, Revisor customer service is great. Someone actually came in during their vacation to send my razor, even though my payment was late and missed their last day before everyone left. Very good, very polite, and very fast. Got it 4 days after posting!!!
