Simco Straight Razor #410 * White Handle Review

My experience is consistent with the previous reviewer's. The razor's edge needed careful reworking before it even approached a usable state. (I used an ad hoc sequence of fine oil stones, followed by abrasive papers up to 8000 grit, with water, on a piece of float glass, before stropping.)
At first I thought it was me. I used a straight razor, cluelessly, 30 years ago, and am trying to teach myself how to use one correctly now. I tried this razor and gave up for months, until it occurred to me that I had nothing to lose by trying to sharpen it. The visible grinding marks on the edge should have been a clue; the problem was NOT me!
I'm giving this product two stars because I got mine at a local beauty supply shop for $10. If I had known it was not really a finished product, that would have been a good deal, in context. If you have any idea how to sharpen something like this, $27.99 isn't bad. Make your mistakes with something like this, and then look for something fancier!
