Well I polished this one up and honed it on my coticule at lunch time. A couple of water spots were left but they don't bother me.
Despite the fact that its tiny and would most likely have been used as a trimming and shaping tool rather than a shaving tool I found it very easy to handle and didn't need me to wipe the lather off much more than a 4/8. In fact some of the awkward bits around my nose and under mu chin were easier to get at. Sharpness was spot on and smooth to boot.

Hi Nic,

Oh good, I'm glad you posted your thoughts on this razor. I understand it's an odd size and I was wondering how it worked for you, Heh, I have the same one, so there's that too. Nah, I never actually shave with the thing, but I do get to hold it every now and then.

I'm glad to hear this small razor isn't a weird one to use,

Martin

Fantastic shave BBS two days growth wiped out by the Feather, two pass shave minor touch up, this is such a lovely razor to use very comfortable even with my weak hand I seem to have very good control of this razor, before I purchased this razor I didn't really have any kind of expections of how it would perform, but it's certainly surprised me if i'm honest.
