I spent some time restoring this razor for a friend yesterday, and this was the test shave. The edge is 85% there and I got a close shave, but it didn't feel all that great. I'll be doing some more work before trying it again.

I'm happy with the rest of the restoration, though. It wasn't in bad shape to begin with, but I spent some time polishing it with Flitz, then hammered the pin to tighten up the scales a tad, then honed.

The Geneva Cutlery razors are overlooked. Great razors!
