    Default nates straights

    Anyone have any experience using a Nate Zowada razor ..How do they shave? Hows the craftsmanship? I haven't seen or read a lot about his razors..I'm intrigued about his designs that I have seen.

    EH? Do you mean Tim or Nate?

    I have a Nate Zowada (Nate's straights). I'm usually not into the modern razors and I only have a couple, but this guy shaves like a champ. Nice craftsmanship and superb edge. I bought it thinking I probably wouldn't keep it long, but I'm definitely keeping it.

    This is interesting.
    Do you have or have you had a chance to shave with a Hart Steel?
    I understand that Tim Zowanda was involved in the start up of the Hart line but did not know there was a Nate...
    Note the similarities - and I am a huge Heart fan and I also have the Tim Zowanda 2H2H- would like to know more.

    I've sent him a message through Facebook

    Smooth shaving...

    Yes I have a Hart (that's my other "modern" razor). Indeed they are similar but the Nate has a neat rounded tang and nice tail.
    This particular one has ebony scales and my heart has the plastic.
    While they are both nice, I would keep my Nate Zowada if I had to choose...
