My gd arrived today.

[taffy]

Well my $3.00 shave ready gd came today, it has been honed, but the blade is very uneven its sort of straight, then a bit up, then back to straight, cant moan for the price i suppose, and one more to hone up, at least i now have one

Was it actualy honed? Or did it just come with an edge that's obviously just come off a grinding wheel?

Is it the blade itself that's uneven, or the edge/bevel?

Just wondered as you said 'shave ready'. All 3 of mine came with just a rough edge rather than a proper bevel...but they are straight looking along the blade. If you want one to practice honing on pm me your address and I'll send you the 108.
