Thread: Gaines dressed in ivory again

My son and I took this baby for a spin. To give her a good test I had an unusual two days beard growth. My honing mile stones were saying this was going to be an exceptional shave and they were right. This was smoother shaving that I got from any of my blades including the famous Wonderedge. Even the landings were smooth as they just sliced through the hairs even before the blade touched my skin.

The style of the blade took just a few seconds to adjust to and left me wondering why all blades were not shaped this way. The bottom of the shank is a bit thin for my liking with my huge thumbs bit after a few strokes that became minor issue. This is definitely a keeper and will make it into rotation on special occasions and holidays.

Good for you Joed. 2 days growth is always a good 'torture test' for a blade.
Sounds like you have a bewdy there mate.

There is something about Ivory that I just love.

Looks great!

I know what you mean. I haven't felt anything that feels like the real thing. It's in a class of it's own.

See, me too, Charlie. I'd call the a torpedo point. That's like the antithesis of a spike point. I like it.

I keep coming back to the pic. I was playing with the lighting and thought that it was a junk pic until I saw it on my monitor. If I was trying got that effect I never would have got it.

The blade took a moment to get used to but after that it was an exceptional shave and I enjoyed working with the toe. It was a very smooth shave and is now one I look forward to in my rotation. I even used it twice in a month, which is rare for any razor.

Not only does it look good but it is one heck of a shave. I hope I can acquire one of these, before I'm too old and feeble to shave my self.

Thank you Joe, for letting me use this exceptional razor, I'll be looking for it on my next visit.

You're welcome Nate and this razor will be available to use when ever you're here. You might also like using a more common razor. You might find another you like that would be easier to find.

Hope to see you again soon.

nice one. enjoy
