Thread: Revisor - Solingen

Of that there is no doubt whatsoever! I know I will be seeking another out sooner rather than later. It is unfortunate this thread turned into a bit of a quibble over what, in the end, is the icing on an already fantastic cake.

Ordered my Revisor last thursday and have been apprised of it's arrival at my office this morning in Cumbria UK, now that is a fantastic service, I doubt it would have arrived sooner if it had been a stock item in a UK establishment. Paid for by bank transfer by the way.

Picture or it didnt happen. Congrats

As requested!

First shave ever with a straight this morning! I followed my usual prep routine and got to work with the Revisor, it was an experience. I know Lynn Abrams says new guys should stick to cheeks only, I had to go the whole hog however and set out to finish what I had started. I carefully cleaned the blade of any oil residue and dried it, lathered up with my Tabac soap etc. I didn't strop as this is not recommended by the seller, plus I have no idea what constitutes 'shave ready'! On the plus side I didn't cut myself, I didn't even have any weepers which I was surprised at. I also got a full shave although it took time, plenty of relathering and the end result was uneven and not as close as somebody that knows what they are doing would achieve. I nonetheless avoided terrifying my kids by confronting them with a blood soaked nightmare and felt more confidant at the end than when I started. Now on to stropping!!!
