I re-honed this razor since it sucked yesterday. Today was an improvement, but I think it was mostly due to me changing my technique based on their recommendations printed on the enclosed slip of paper (see below).
I’m somewhat pleased because there was an improvement, dispelling some of my thoughts that maybe this razor just stinks. I held the blade basically flush with my face as much as I could, and the comfort improved significantly. The shave is closer than yesterday, but still leaves a lot to be desired.
For now I’ll keep it. I’m still intrigued by the history of this company, the condition that the razor is in, and the overall vibe. Yesterday I was worried that maybe the steel was crap, but now I’m back to thinking it has potential to keep a good edge.
I’m not good at taking pictures of straight razors, but here you go.
