people who don't know straight razors,

I notice this product is getting dinged, which is actually a good thing, but it's getting dinged for all the wrong reasons.
Those who are complaining that this blade isn't sharp and needs to be honed either don't know or aren't telling you that even a $900+ custom made razor with a damascus steel blade and human legbone scales (handle) isn't going to be "shave ready" when it arrives in your mailbox. You either need to hone it yourself or send it to a professional to have it honed. You also need to strop it before every use. So those who are dinging this product for not being sharp are just ignorant of how products in this market are sold and what the buyer is expected to do with them before using them. This is like complaining a brand new car wouldn't start when you got it home because you didn't put gas in it on the way home from the dealership. That should not reflect on the car!

I wanted to get real with straight razor and shave propperly and with style... the thing is I bought this razor unknowing a lot of things about straight razors...
1- its stainless steel which makes it really really hard to hone, if you can get it honed then it wont be as sharp "my first shaving with it was torture!" ...
2- its pretty bad quality "the weight is not well balanced"
3- it wont shave you... get a DOVO! and first learn about straight razors... there is a web page called straightrazorplace ask around dont get disappointed like me!

HORRIBLE RAZOR,

This is a HORRIBLE RAZOR and is not WORTH UR MONEY! If you are just getting into shaving like me and think that its smart to start cheap, thats a VERY BAD idea.
The blade is very cheap and in not hollow and no matter how much u hone it, IT WILL NEVER SHAVE. Total waste of money, be smart from the beginning and don't
make the same mistake I did. Invest in a quality DOVO blade for around $100 so that u can ACTUALLY shave. I didn't spend enough time learning about straight razors
before i bought this and that was a mistake.
