    I have that exact razor, in a bit n better shape I think though. It's my absolute best shaver. Great, great blade. God job!

    They are a very good shaver when honed up IME. I think that was a good buy. If you don't know how to hone go to the SRP classifieds member services and send him out. Even with the honing charge you got a good buy.

    Nice razor and these usually are very nice shavers. This one looks like it should clean up well. There is some wear on the spine, but it should not be problematic in honing. I think you did fine.

    Enjoy

    Alk, 'nothing to ad about Wester quality. They've been on the upper end of good Soligens for me. 'Used Manganese and the De-fi - several of each. They were excellent shavers.
