100 SR Shaves

[rbscebu]

couple of questions as I received one a W59 in a lot, not sure about it yet.

• are you going to keep the logo on the blade face?
• which of those 3 is your favorite, and why?
• the top one was breadknifed flat?
• how is stropping or the honing flip?

Yes, I will keep the logo. I have no reason to delete it.

None of them are my favorites yes as I am still honing them to the Method edge. After that I will use them and further refine the edges to my shave-ready standard.

The top was as received, not yet bread-knifed.

My first W59 (not one of the three shown) has been finished with a Method edge and further refined to my shave-ready standard. I have no problems with the stropping/honing flip with any of my W59's. They are just like flipping all my other SR's.

So as to not further highjack this thread, I have started a new one on my GD W59 project here:

Gold Dollar W59 - Preparing the edge

The Gold Dollar W59 SR is not for everyone. Some are intimidated buy the pronounced Spanish point on this razor. I received my first W59 a few months ago. After putting a Method edge on is, it shaved well. I particularly like the Spanish point as it allowed me to more easily get into those...
