Thanks for your reviews, Matt. I think you got the hang of it.
Thanks.
However, they may not have been brief, but I'm not sure how informative they were!!!

Great review @MPH, I too tried a Feather yesterday in the Hone - DFS, no weepers nicks or AS Sting. Even a Feather in a Feather did not work as well for me...
Fancy some Feathers? I have a surplus of Feathers, envelopes and stamps. Although I haven't got any Feathers to prove a point it seems to work well despite what blade it has, how much stubble you have and safe in the knowledge that you'll be knick and irritation free.
So my final thoughts are that I very much like the razor. I have bought into the ethos, and I really like that it is different to what else is out there, and that it is made from a different metal. The workmanship is great, and Hone deserves to be a company that is around for some time.
@Whosthedaddy Great write up. I'll take Goldilocks level, thank you really glad you enjoyed it. I hope the slant is just a trick of perspective2nd shave with the Hone.
It's very much like the Standard in my eyes, not just in feel in the hand with the non knurled handle, but the fact that it's pretty much a Goldilocks type razor.

Is it aggressive enough? Probably yes, any more and the heavy weight of the razor may exacerbate any problems or injuries as I find it a little awkward with some strokes. Then again I'm using a super lather at the moment so maybe a thinner lather for a closer more aggressive shave?
The handle is spot on, but, again on some strokes I feel it a little short . This is an odd statement for me as I like the shorter handle razors as a norm?
My eyes are playing tricks on me, has this a very slight slant to it? The line at the base of the baseplate and the angle of the blade seems to be very slightly slanted, or have I just got my wonky eyes in at the moment?
I don't mind the patina at the moment and would probably prefer this finish over a shiny new one? It's like a matte gold?
So far so good? Hell yes, like the Wolfman, the quality is spot on and can be felt in the hand and the face. I didn't get this from the Feather?
