Item Description
This razor has been a pleasure to own. It was my first straight and one that has given me many good shaves. Its a nice 5/8 roundpoint with a full hollow. A set up that would make this a good razor for someone just starting into straights. I got this from a member who had done a good job of honing it but I like the double bevel and had no problem honing it to shave ready as a double bevel. The razor was about $90 new when I got mine. Now I believe they are up over $100. The craftsmanship is good but not great. Its scales and touches like the MOP inlay and gold wash outshine the blade. The blade has a satin finish and the grind was a bit uneven.
Overall, I think this is a good value razor especially for a first razor. However, if you know and trust a member on this site or elsewhere I would recommend buying something less expensive from them over this with its $100 plus price tag and that doesn't include honing.
