Of the many razors that I own, this one is my favorite. It's stamped Chashuf Schmidt St. Louis and it's about as plain a razor as you'll find. I probably couldn't sell it for more then $10. But here's why it's special to me. I learned to hone and use a SR at the same time. After many failed attempts at both, I had my AH-HA moment with this razor. I had other blades that I worked on, but this is the one that I kept taking back to the hones and kept improving. I shaved with it almost exclusively for months and it's still my go to razor. It's got stains and light pitting and the scales are scratched and dull. I could make it look brand new again with about 90 minutes of work, but I don't want to. It's got character. Thought I'd show this little guy some Coticule love today. It came out great, but I think I like this one better with a Naniwa 12k finish. Name: IMG_4772.jpg Views: 314 Size: 23.0 KB
