Thanked: 55I did say that I was going to wait until tomorrow for a shave test. I couldn't wait. Smooth two pass shave. Few weepers(alum block and all gone), put this down to few drinks, never having shaved with bigger than 6/8 and/or keener than my usual coticule edge. Overall extremely impressed with this razor. Easy to handle, lovely weight and balance and smooth shaving. Also perfect smile, made hollows of neck easy as pie. Looking forward to perfecting my technique with it.

Thanked: 55Second shave even better. Lighter hands when fully sober. Is definitely keener than I'm used to. Makes a lovely noise when removing stubble. Impressed by how easy the smile makes it, bigger blade than my usual but somehow feels nimbler and easier to reach the difficult bits. Also amazingly easy to strop, just looking forward to my westholme with d rings to make stropping even easier. Have to say, anyone looking for a wedge, Ulrik's are great (my only custom and only one well worn old Sheffield wedge so no real comparison possible). Think my RAD will be in remission for some lengthy time, not sure how I could find a razor I like more.

Just a couple of quick and stupid questions for you guys. Are his prices in Euros? Can I expect import charges for a straight razor like this? I live in Canada but I assume it is fairly similar to the USA.

Thanked: 55Saw that on his site a few weeks back. Enjoy the shave, just shaved with my koraat for the third time and still finding it hard to believe how nice it is to use.
