Hot off the bay! Honed it up today. Shaved with it. Edge is a bit harsh right off the stone even after 30X linen and 50X leather. Hopefully it'll settle in. Grind looks to be between a half and quarter hollow. Shaved great with cold water.

Yup - that's sharp! You could try a little Crox rub. That works well for me. That and Dovo Green paste do wonders killing that harshness for me. YMMV.
Truly - it's a nice looking blade.David

Nice looking razor. Grats on the find.
