Fumbling about.
I acquired a NOS razor. The vendor told me it has a factory finish and will need to be stropped after 10-15 shaves.
These are photos of the edge of the edge. Some are against a pink background (a pink microfiber towel). Others are against a tan background (the cardboard of a legal pad).
These photos were taken at a magnification of perhaps 60X with a cellphone clip-on microscope. I have more photos. These are representative random photos taken of the edge of the edge on both sides of the blade.
I'm considering whether to shave with the razor as it is (it's been stropped some) or hone the razor. Is this what a factory fresh razor gentlemen shave with looks like?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Happy shaves,
Jim
