Straight out of the packet, clean off the preservative, and away it went. Needed only 5 bits of toilet paper, and I was well pleased.

I bought this to get into straight razor as a cheap start before buying a good one. I understood from other reviews that isn’t “shave ready” but confident in my honing skills decided to give it a try. What a mistake!! First of all the razor it’s not straight and you need first to fix that if you want to settle a proper bevel. After going trough a lot of different stones (all properly lapped beforehand) and finally the strop it come with the razor, it was ready to shave. Unfortunately the steel it’s so rubbish I manage to shave only under my sideburn. Halfway through my cheek it start pulling hairs and did not shave no more. Waste of money and time!!!

Sorry but this blade is not remotely sharp enough for shaving, even after considerable honing on the strop. The razor on the whole looks good and feels good but all the logos washed off after the first use. Cheap enough but buy cheap buy twice. Now looking for a replacement.

I have had the buy a sharping stone too has the blades is no way sharpened enough and just using the strop isn’t going to work until the blade is straighten and honed probably.
