My second real straight got here today
And I was due for another shave, so I tried it right away.
It is a vintage Keenoh razor and it came shave ready. It is less shinny than my first one, but it is very sharp. It is a full hollow square end.
IIt is the first time I shave with 2 razors at the same time as a test, and here is what I realized. The full hollow is perfect for my face and strong beard, and the half hollow is perfect for my head, specially because of the round end.
Both give me the feeling that they are both as good, and being a beginner I can't feel the difference yet between the full and half full hollow types of bevel. But I can appreciate the good feeling of a nice razor, that's for sure.
Btw, it is the first time I shave both my face and head WTG and ATG all together, and it is an almost perfect shave this time with only a few spots not as close. But overall it is a real close shave good enough for any occasions. There was also more blood though.
I'll post pictures of the razor later.
