Osiris Bladeworks?

This is my best razor ever ! No really !
Gents,

A few days ago I was able to purchase an Osiris Bladeworks 9/8 razor. It sure looks beautiful and unique, but I am curious to know how these blades shave, and how the edge holds up?

Does anyone have any experience with these? What do you think?

The very few things online all seem to be positive, and there are a handful of shaving videos on youtube by a chap named Kai Triska, and another by a chap with the username sosharpdavid.

The razor arrives tomorrow so I will find out shortly, and post my thoughts as I use it. However, I just wondered if anyone had some thoughts on this razorsmith and his work.

These were pictures from the seller...the blade is new and unused.

Thanks!

She arrived today, along with a pretty sweet Wacker Old Sheffield, and both look like great razors.

The Osiris is beautiful! The core is Japanese Hitachi Blue #2. Does anyone have any opinions about using this type of steel for a straight razor?

Here are some pictures that I took:

Congratulations. (y)
Thanks my friend!

I sort of called an audible on the field and decided to try out the Wacker Old Sheffield, and I am of the opinion that this straight razor is second to none...the ergonomics in the hand, face feel, ability to slice through two days of whiskers, and audible feedback was AWESOME!

Always remember to drink and shave responsibly!

That Osiris is not a good razor for you... you should mail it to me so I can properly dispose of it for you. ;)
Seriously though, I think you won't be disappointed.

Please tell us how you rate your Osiris. Baiting us with all those pics, then switching at the last second is cruel. ;)

Bahahahahah! Sorry about that...I have used it a few times now.

The razor is built like a tank, and I personally think is is stunning in appearance.

It isn’t as nimble as other razors, but that is to be expected in such a hoss! I am very very pleased with it overall.

I did some honing for Alfonzo. 9 razors to be exact. I also have owned 4. They are good blades
