Thread: Great shave from Eskiltuna

I picked up a 6/8 NOS Eskiltuna on ebay last month and tried it for the first time this morning. Fantastic shave! It is heavy, and being a 6/8, it was easier to maneuver than the 7/8.

I've decided there is one thing I hate about straight razor shaving - you only get to do it once a day

Tom

Tom,

That's great news. You don't see those come around too often. Did you hone it yourself?

Ed

Ed,

Yep, I did hone it myself. I hone a Birko for Jim Hejsek over on Yahoo Straight Razors and he approved of my results.

And if you're like me with a light beard and an obsession for wickedly sharp razors, you won't even get that frequency.

x, I share you pain

I hear that. I shaved this AM even though I didn't have to. But I might have looked scruffy by afternoon.

I pretty much only manage to be able to shave every other day since I took up the str8. After just one day I don't have enough growth for a good shave, so I wait the second day out.
