Thread: Revisor - Solingen

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!!!
