    Wm. Greaves & Sons 9/16 Cast Steel
    She gave a very fine shave .Was Honed on Sharpton Glass up to 30 K.(Came that way from Purchase) .It has super keen edge but almost too synthetic if you know what I mean . I will try her again tomorrow .But I am thinking of taking her to the J-Nat or Belgian Couticle to bring back the buttery feel of the Sheffield Steel .

    In My Humble Experience Sheffield Hollow Grinds are Way Over Honed Past around 16 K..They Become Lethal..:shocked003:

    Billy Thanks for the advise .The Razor is 1/4 Grind .Close to being a wedge.Fairly sure I will hone her on the Belgian Couticle to soften the edge and take me out of the danger zone .

    Aye..Some of the 1/4 Grinds or Near Wedges Can Take a Higher Grit but Some Don't..Depends on the Production Era of the Steel..The Cast Steel Sheffield's Take a Wonderful Edge on My Coticule..:happy088:

    Odd-looking SR this morning. Felt entirely different than most of my morning shaves. :confused:
    Much faster and easier shave, too. No stropping necessary... Happy August!

    Kevin, is that some exotic straight razor that I've never seen before?

    Jim, I think you're on to something. The blade is not only disposable but unlike most run-of-the-mill shavettes, the blade is smaller and is double-sided!
    It might be strange enough to capture the attention of that fringe group of shavers looking for that different shaving experience!

    Maybe you can even get one with multiple blades. I've heard they exist
