Thread: Hone of the Day

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!
