Lovely!
You're right, it really does sing. It was one of the first things I noticed when I first got it. As you can see, mine has been well used! But I promise to take some more flattering pictures by daylight. I just wanted to get the defect online.
I have a nice feeling about this razor, I think it's a 'Keeper!'
Pictures would be nice for a comparison of the different sizes.

Oz my Mate! I do believe that you just nailed down what I learned from
Glen (GSSIXGUN) two years ago at the USA Northwest Meet in Spokane WA!!!!

I'd originally done the 90 deg the first time when I had a razor that had a serious frown and after watching a master remove a chip using the 45 deg or so and noted that you needed to leave a very, very small portion of the chip to be removed during the bevel setting it was really helpful when I was given an Heirloom razor from a 89 year old man and the razor was his grandfathers!!!

It saved me a lot of work and a lot of steel and stone! My thanks go to Glen and you for bringing up the angle!
