Straight Razor of the day

[chard52142]

Razor Dorko 43 Near Wedge
This razor, I must admit is my best among all other SRs. The razor retains the jnat edge from 2 years ago and is still buttery smooth yet very keen...3 enjoyable passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

Wed 11
Razor Red Imp 132
What a lovely shave with this razor! Despite the time crunch...went for 3 passes because this edge is so buttery smooth...and crisply sharp. Good bbs-ccs finish...

Thu 12
Razor Wade & Butcher Steamship 7/8 Wedge
I understand the meaning of the final shave test... rather than TTT & HHT. This razor failed both but decided to proceed anyway. It shaved beautifully for 3 passes...smooth, comfortable, and efficient. The final results were between bbs-ccs. Nice!!
