ItsHey, thanks for your response. A 1/2 grind...no wonder. Something new to learn for me. I don't have any stones except just rely on a shave-ready edge and maintain it with the 3 pasted balsa. I was thinking about getting an affordable finisher but undecided because most are out of my affordability range...except the Naniwa Super Stone 12k (recommended in your opinion??)

That Russian Razor will Need Bevel Set from the 1 K Stone & Hones Through a Full Progression..They are Not that Hard to Hone if its Been Ground Properly from the Factory..They are Nice Shavers..Even Most New Razors Need a Full a Hone from the 1 K Stone from the Factory, Including Vintage Razors..Thanks @Fergiebilly I am hoping to receive one soon from the BST so I'll watch that before attempting to get my Stiz usable. Its NOS so I'm probably going to have to go back to bevel setting. In at the deep end for a novice honer.
