Mixed feelings

I ordered this razor as a first straight razor and compared to my safety razor this is great. I’m still new so I’m still touching up with my safety razor, but I am getting closer shaves now than before. Shipping was fast and the product was as advertised to my expectations. After I received it I did some research and realized although they say it is “shave ready” it should still be honed again. I’ve read of Honers receiving the blade and finding pitting on the blade edge. Overall for me it is doing as expected.

Starts great but goes dull fast

I would give this more stars, but after watching the videos and how the product is portrayed , I was only able to get two shaves before the razor was beyond dull. The second shave tug and pulled so bad I had to finish with my safety razor. Not so great when advertised as shave ready. Kinda of a bummer.

It's great!

I'm a rookie straight razor user. I've used it 3 times now. I am very impressed with whoever is the current honemeister. I really like the weight of the blade. I definitely recommend this straight razor to 1st times. Now for my only complaint. I wish they would have tightened up the pin connecting blade to scales.

Visual Issues, but works great

I have had this product for a week or two now, and after numerous shaves I can say that this razor is beautifully honed and ridiculously sharp (I have the nicks to prove it). I did, however, have a couple issues with the visual aspects of the product. The website was true in saying that with their high-def photos, what you see is what you get. The problems I had, however were not shown in the product photos or description. Upon opening the box, I immediately noticed that the acrylic scales were a bit roughed up on one side, almost like plastic that's been scraped along concrete. Upon looking at the razor itself, there were two nicks in the top of the blade, where the grind starts, along with a hairline fracture that runs along the spine about the whole length of the blade. While these defects do not impact performance, I was a little disappointed with the state the razor arrived in.
