Very nice Butch! It's nice to see some of my steel actually make it to a finished product! I really need to get back to making knives...

That is awsome!!!

I'm a fan of strait razors! Very nice!! One day I want to learn how to grind like that!

ok honed it then stropped it a bunch
great shave first pass around
re-lathered and stropped a bit more and was even smoother for the 2nd pass

so test shave went great
i just have to remember right off the hones needs a few more swipes on the leather then just the normal every day strop to shave
