    You should like it a lot. Mine takes on a very nice edge.

    Congratulations, Hans, you realize Andrey’s razors are half hollows?

    Well, just received three new Swedish razors, one of which has a chip in the blade. From Poland
    Neistrom 4/8. Needs some work. It’s a Model #52. There’s a chip near the toe, easily remedied, also needs some beauty treatment.

    He says Half Hollow, but to me, my 8/8th Gipson sure looks like a Full Hollow.

    Understood, Scott! The only reason I brought it up for Hans is because he had mentioned to me that he strongly prefers full hollows. My Katsumi is a half hollow, but that’s not an issue for me.

    Thanks Jeff, half hollow and full hollow is OK Wedges and half wedge is not my cup of tea, of course can I shave with them but normally I get a little bit sore skin.

    I'm in agreement with you. I prefer Hollow Grinds, much more than a wedge.

    Just drop this into your pocket for a quick touch up before your 1880’s dinner.

    Patented mechanism to slide the blade out, rotate, and slide back in to lock. Looks like it was for razors and knives.

    Looking forward to working on this one.
    Happy hunting.

    Thanks fellas. The design to use it like a fixed kamisori is beneficial, as trying to use something this tiny with a folded scale design is near impossible. The edge doesn’t look half bad, so hopefully it will hone up fine.

    It has arrived! Sadly I had to pay $90 in customs and import taxes.. Very welcome to Sweden! The most tax addicted country in the world I guess…
    Thanks Andrey for the nice package and fast delivery. So tomorrow morning it’s going to be Klas and Andrey

    Yes, my friends, the tax system in Europe is ruthless. I don't like that either. It is a little easier for American buyers in this regard. :)
