Today's shave was a bit of an experiment - went straight from sealed package to shave with this gorgeous NOS Economy Supply Company 44-20 No. 800 'Manganese Steel' razor (excuse the poor picture). This thing was popping hairs above skin level on my arm so I thought I might as well see if the decades-old edge was up to scratch shave wise. Well - she didn't disappoint - have just finished a shave that I would rate 8/10 edge wise, a little harsh, but astonishingly good considering this razor was happily cloistered in its own little world unmolested by time for god knows how long till I showed up ;-). Might just run it over my Swaty for next time.
