    My first shave with this 210 year old beauty and it was a great shave. Two pass DFS.
    I actually like the shape of the blade. It was easy to maneuver and was very smooth

    That old blade took a very keen edge. The thinness of the tang is what may take some getting used to.

    I look forward to learning this one. First impressions were great. Thanks for putting such a nice edge on it.

    I have a new favorite straight razor! Two pass DFS first time out. I love the weight and feel of this beast. It helps that it was honed beautifully by @HolyRollah

    I tried out my Wade and Butcher "Elite" today. Over all, a DFS after 2 passes. I'm fairly pleased with it.

    I did feel just a bit of tugging in a couple of spots and I was able to see why when examining the blade under a microscope. I'll try honing it again to see if I can do better.

    homemade brush, knot is a TGN Finest, maybe. Box elder burl handle.
    Excellent shave this morning. I have a couple of Sir Hare soaps and get superb lather and a very good post shave feel. No need for balm even in the summer. Have a good one.

    I honed the Wade and Butcher tonight and got it nicely tree topping arm hair. I think I got it this time!
