My choice SR. I shaved with double edge razors for more than 45 years, it was boring, a waste of time. There were time that I wouldn't shave for days because it was boring! Then I remembered I had two SR a ROMO and a Hess 44. Dusted them off, honed them and the adventure began. I purchased a few more. learned how to hone, strop and shave properly with the SR. Now my hair can't grow fast enough to shave with a SR. A shave is an adventure in selecting the SR, stroppnig and shaving, even in making new scales when needed, exchanging scales between blades to fit the correct blade. Making the correct fitting leather pouches of wild exotic leathers and styles of pouches. Gathering the several stones needed to hone. More fun than a barrel of monkies. I am glad I rediscovered SR shaving. Juan.
