    Default Got this one in today

    This razor arrived today, and I got a bit of a pleasant surprise. It looks much better in person than in the pics...in fact, it is nearly mint. The specks he mentions are really tiny, and way up near the spine, and the blade appears to be unused, or at least never honed.

    I gave it a couple of laps on the 8K, then a few more on a pasted strop, and it mowed arm hair with no effort at all, so I stropped her up and tried her out.

    Not bad at all. In fact, one of my best shaves to date. It just wiped the hair off my chin, which is always my most troublesome spot.

    Think I'll keep this one.

    Yeah, those Wester Manganese shavers are nice - I've got two that I use every now and then. You'll be happy with it!
