    1520562078091-688054091.jpg Hey guys my brother is wanting to try the dark side. So I picked this up imperial razor extra hollow ground fully warranted. I cleaned it up some and honed it. What do you think?

    It looks good enough to gift. But, I would shave with it first, just to see if the honing is dialed in.

    I shaved with it, it shaved good, I sanatized it again, stropped it back to shave ready, and he really liked it, he accidentally barely bumped his finger on the edge, but it's like I told him, it's one of life's little mishaps.

    Looks like a good razor for a new straight shaver. I nice gift and good job on the recruiting.

    I also got a puma from eBay, the seller had 39.99 on it or best offer, but it had a chip in the blade, I offered 15 bucks for it, and the offer was accepted, I haven't honed it yet, but I worked the chip out of it.

    Here's the puma after I worked out the chip and honed it. I don't feel like it was a bad grab for 15 bucks.
