I rehoned this razor today, and maybe not aggressively enough. Because this is such a pretty razor, and because it cut the packing peanut without any issues when I got it, I didn’t check the geometry. However, it turns out that it has a very slight wobble in it. As per the advice by @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, I tried to round off the La Lune slurry stone. Turns out that it takes quite some work rounding off a hard finishing stone. I god impatient and ended it maybe prematurely, but it worked and it produced a slurry without visible scratch marks.
And SV Tundra Artica is great when it’s cold outside.
Have a good day!

I have a Le Grelot that I purchased new. It, too, had a wobble in it. Mine was small enough that a little spine grinding took care of it. If you can get things sorted, it’s a great razor.
Even a small radius on a slurry stone will typically help.
