They were all handed over to me this past Wednesday (Christmas day, very fitting ;-) by visiting family.
In addition to the razors, a few stones for maintenance (and to get me started on the road to honing):
First photograph, top down:
1. Slate finishing / polishing stone
2. Naniwa SS 8000 hone
3. Naniwa SS 800+5000 combination one
4. Koraat Tantallum cast iron, wedge grind
5. Wacker-made Dorko 576, 7/8", full hollow
6. Wacker Chevalier 6/8“, full hollow
7. Wacker Barbier’s Bride 6/8“, singing blade
I had initially trouble deciding with which one to shave first but eventually settled on the Chevalier, which I've used now for 2 days. Sweet shaves! But can't wait to give the other ones a go too, starting next week Monday.
