Makes sense.

I should mention that of the two blades, one was honed by me, the other one was NOS. Feel free to hone the blades if you want. I don't remember whether @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social honed them

@whosgotthepudding, I honed the blade that was on the razor after trying it. I intended to hone the other blade, but I'm easily distracted these days. I guess the one I honed was the NOS one. It felt a little rough and didn't look that great under the scope. I put a simple 12K edge on it that took pretty well as I recall. I used that edge in last year's Lather Games. [ And I, literally, just realized that June 1 is tomorrow :-0 ]

That would make sense

Good call! I did actually check the calendar. I've thought it was 5/31 all day.
