GLAMOUR SHOT! Refreshed my Shave-O-The day on this one. 100 X-stokes followed by 100 passes on Kanayama 70000.

One of the best razors ever produced in Solingen: Sahara Gold - Camel Rider. Honed and finished on my finest vintage Tamagoiro stone.

I got this razor NOS - without any bevel set, dull, didn't cut any arm hair. Set the bevel on a 1000 king. Within 5 minutes on the 1000, the razor didn't even cut arm hair but also a HHT 3 was possible with a little stropping on linen/leather. Unbelievable - did not get this with any other razor I ever had. Another 5 minutes on the tamgoiro with some slurry and a few strokes on water only and the razor was shave ready. The razor is extremely thin grinded. The sound while cutting hair is unbelievable. Keenest razor I ever had in my face. But also very smooth and forgiving. Absolutely perfect shave!
First time ive seen a NOS Sahara Gold.
Congratulations :tu
Did my T.I Spartacus tonight.

Last nights honing was a heckuvalot of fun.
The ERN and Morley needed a full bevel set, went Naniwa 1k, 2k, 5k, 8k and 12k
My "Beater" Razor and Schmachtenberg were touched up on two different cotis.
I am slowly working on getting chips out of a Case razor I got in a lot awhile ago. They're about 1/8" long and will reduce the width just outside of the shoulder. I think I might break out my carbordium which should have a 320ish side
I bought it from a maker in Japan. I'm very happy with his knives. His name is Watanabe.
