Looks awesome. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it!
Awesome stuff. Really great that it came shaving sharp still. Should make it easy to maintain with just the convex ark then. Possibly further refine it.Today I shaved with my newest razor.

This is the Dorko I mentioned recently.
It was factory honed and very very carefully stropped by me this morning. The shave was much as usual with my sharp off the Double Convex Arkansas 8x3 blades. I didn't notice this Dorko to be sharper or less sharp. The edge felt just about (or exactly like maybe) most of my recent nicely honed edges.
The shave was good, but, frankly, except for the impressive novelty and excitement of shaving with a beautiful, new, heavy, wide, and very expensive new Dorko, the shave was pretty ordinary.
That's no knock on the Dorko razor. I have a bunch of very good razors. This is now one of them. I like it very very much and am glad I acquired it, but it's not more of a razor than the others when it comes to shaving.

My kit was otherwise much as it often is. The alum was for fingers only.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Beautiful razor!
Mike, I really don't know the story or get the references. Probably shouldn't have posted the shave number as a hotel key.
The key states "Overlook Hotel" which was central to this.
If you havent seen it, you should. Its one of Kubricks, and Nicholsons, best movies.
