Here is a link to it, with a few pics:

Your razor is identical to mine except for the scale material. It is very, very hard steel; but you certainly have the perfect hone to sharpen and smooth the edge of your Zowada. That's a real Sunday shaver; I don't often use mine for fear of accident!

This is a good day.
They are both finally here.
It took almost 4 weeks due to Ash and what not, but who's counting on a day like this

Here's a few pics of my new beauties.
And guess what razor will be used for tonights shave..

Wow! Nice.

Great score Birnando. This link here may be useful for you if the day comes you need to touch up your lovely Zowada. Matter of fact Tim is using the same brand stone to finish his razors as you have there. When only the best will do.

Thanks JimmyHAD, that was a very interesting page. Bookmarked

The razor arrived slightly dull and with a few small chips in the edge, So I have spent the afternoon honing it.
2-5-8-12K Naniwa SS and finished off on the Escher stone.
Did just a couple of laps on a paddle strop with ,5 diamond spray(hard felt).
Then 30/60 on the SRD Premium IV.

I'll tell you, that was one sweet shaver

Had myself a wonderful half hour in the bathroom chopping them off!
