Special thanks to @Doc226 for getting my razor shave ready! I wanted to have a good baseline for my own honing journey and he set the bar high. Superb edge and an excellent shave today!

First time trying Cella. I'm not disappointed, but I'm not thrilled either... Grateful that it was a gift.
 
I’ve been curious about these De Pews since I first saw one. Recently got my hands on one and gave it a bit of a clean up. Sent it off to Doc for a hone since I haven’t had the pleasure of one of his edges in years. He also did some cleaning as well, which prettied her up, but she had a rough life before I got her. It’s bigger than I expected, with overall dimensions comparable to a 5/8, but really quite nimble. It gave a sublime shave today.
