Great

I used a straight razor a decade or so back and recently wanted to get back to shaving. Getting this as my first razor in over a decade was probably a bit overkill looking back, but I am absolutely in love with it The blade is incredibly sharp and feels substantial in the hand even though it’s incredibly light. The square edge was a little difficult to get used to since it has a tip, I definitely got a few nicks from clumsiness and not paying attention. But hasn’t been much of a problem after a week of shaves. The first time I got my foam and prep right and got the shave it was addicting. Felt like there was almost a vacuum holding the blade to the face and the shave afterwords was exactly what I wanted. All in all very happy with the purchase and getting back into the ritual

Sharp

Just as sharp as any DE blade that I have used in my shavette. It's not as comfortable for me as using my DE because it shaves closer. I have been using it for about a month and I have gotten a few cuts on the way but I lived to tell the tale. Great SR and great honing by their honemiester.
