Size: 7/8
Point: French
Blade: Solingen
Notes & Photos
Other than blade width and French point, the razor that arrived (months later — it came by boat due to pandemic shipping pandemonium) looks very little like the one I ordered (shown in the vendor's description). But I like the red scales and it's the right size and a nice shaver, so I just kept it. I did inquire about the scales and they said they were out of the black ones so just put one handy set. They seemed relieved I wasn't going to send it back.)
Notes
This razor hit the floor from The Great Shelf Collapse and the blade has bent or warped such that it will not take a bevel along its length without a great deal of effort — and a lot of ugly honewear trying. Blade is now closer to 6/8 than 7/8. Most successful effort was using a 1.5, 5k, 8k, 20k progression on the side edges of hones.
Do not sell without clear statement of defect.
