Hey Odin,

You don't have to try a whole shave. Just shave one cheek maybe. That'll give you the feel of the original edge. Then when Glen's honed it you'll have an excellent comparison to share later on. It's just building a knowledge base that you'll draw on many times. Better to experience it than just read about it. Again my friend, enjoy that beautiful razor!!

@Stropalot
Yes sir, and thank you. Money well spent, in my opinion.

@pix
I'm actually not too fond of the wisteria wrap, and would rather hold onto the handle naked.

I'll say it was a battle scar if something unfortunate happens to me.

In general.... try the edge right out of the box. Lay out the new blade and a backup.
If you do not like the new edge finish with the backup.

Two good thing happen. If the edge was already correct you did not mess it up.
If the edge was not 100% you have a comparison to judge it against and a backup.

For me the kamisori would be a new experience. I doubt I could hone it as well as
the maker on my first try.

After the first shave test or two... I would decide what to do next.

Great idea. I'll strop before it touches my face. I'm waiting on my new sample creams to test it out, so when I get it I'll use the new edge before I send it out.

Been looking at these bad boys. Where did you find this razor? (store, location, etc) I see that SRD is out of stock. I would like to add one to my growing collection.
