New blade for my old shave.
The back is almost perfectly flat out of the box. This is just a few strokes on a fine stone.
It is quite a bit thicker than the Stanley. I actually had to file to mouth of the shave to let the blade cut
It comes sharp and ready to hone. Just a few strokes on 600 and then fine Arkansas stone had it popping hair.
Smooth fine shavings are easy but a thick cut may require more file work on the mouth. The blade really is thick and stiff.
