Thread: Newbie with a LeGrelot from Martin - WOW!

Today was my 27th day of straight razor shaving. Yesterday my LeGrelot arrived from Martin (Thanks Martin for a wonderful buying experience!), and my shave this morning was a miracle for this newbie. I am 95% BBS! I had a couple small areas where I forgot to shave on my 3rd partial pass that’s really just a cleanup pass.

I’ve a couple Dubl Duck razors that could not be sharper, but the LeGrelot combines sharp with smooth - who knew?! I’ve a Joseph Allen & Sons 1/4 wedge that is almost as smooth, but not anywhere near this sharp! My Wester razor just seems to want my blood and my Samples & Sons razor was never a contender...pretty smooth, but it just did not want to make my beard run in fear.

So, do I sell all my razors except the LeGrelot and buy more before Martin sells out? I figure you too have that special razor or two that made you happy from the very first shave.... what razor made you smile with happiness?

Late thought...Martin must be a genius with honing too! He hones them before sending them out.
