Cheers Chris, I was, I thought it would be a bit of a Holy Grail razor for me. The length and weight are everything I wanted and it looks amazing but the finish is draggy and for a Razor that cost me £200+ I guess I expected more. A simple shave with it earlier in the design process, straight away would have spotted something off. I will persist as I got an ok shave last time with it but am torn between having it polished or plated by jjshaves and moving it on. I don’t think I should have to finish a razor of that price really. I’d be interested if anyone knows how the titanium special edition was in comparison, but even thought the aluminium version was too light for me it gave a better shave.Sorry to hear that Lee. You were really looking forward to that Steel Hone.
It's a shame to hear that Lee after all the waiting and razors you sacrificed to get the SS.Cheers Chris, I was, I thought it would be a bit of a Holy Grail razor for me.

I think part of the issue is me building it up in my mind as well, but all the reviews currently say the same. It’s a shame as it’s stunning but it’s definitely a case of form over function.
Yep I wouldn’t if I were you. The aluminium had texture but was light enough to manoeuvre regardless. The Hone 15s has far more drag. I’m torn as I say I want to love it but it shouldn’t be this hard and the Blackbird and 6s were sacrificed for it and money being tight, but I think at this point I’d have been better waiting for the passaround on ATG and saving the cash! Impatience got the better of me! Lesson learnt I’ll buy via the BST from now on or Emporium!It's a shame to hear that Lee after all the waiting and razors you sacrificed to get the SS.
I know you like how the aluminium shaves but I found that to be draggy. So if you feel the SS draggy that means I'm going to take it off my wish list straight away.
