    "Honing starts out on a Chosera 1000 Wet stone were I begin to set the bevel. Once the bevel outline is finished I move onto the Chosera 3000 where the bevel is cleaned up and refined. Next its on to the polishing stage which starts out on the Aishyama 6000 and moves to the naniwa 12000. After the 12k, a perfectly good shave can occur. But we like to take it one step further and finish with a high polish on the Suehiro Gokumyo 20000." Eric, Razor Miester. After honing, the blade is stropped, oiled, and arrives shave ready! Please do not strop this razor before your first shave.

    Great

    I used a straight razor a decade or so back and recently wanted to get back to shaving. Getting this as my first razor in over a decade was probably a bit overkill looking back, but I am absolutely in love with it The blade is incredibly sharp and feels substantial in the hand even though it’s incredibly light. The square edge was a little difficult to get used to since it has a tip, I definitely got a few nicks from clumsiness and not paying attention. But hasn’t been much of a problem after a week of shaves. The first time I got my foam and prep right and got the shave it was addicting. Felt like there was almost a vacuum holding the blade to the face and the shave afterwords was exactly what I wanted. All in all very happy with the purchase and getting back into the ritual

    Sharp

    Just as sharp as any DE blade that I have used in my shavette. It's not as comfortable for me as using my DE because it shaves closer. I have been using it for about a month and I have gotten a few cuts on the way but I lived to tell the tale. Great SR and great honing by their honemiester.
