Thread: My new Koraat, well almost...

Sorry Porl my mistake, I can see the differences now I've looked at the page again! You are right about those scales, the bog oak is a quality finish and the silver spacer is a nice touch. I admit the delivery costs fr om the US did weigh in my mind when ordering the Hydra, but they combined delivery for both razor and strop and so I think overall I got good value for money. I'm interested to know though how the Koraat compares with your Nate's Straight, are they a similar design - spec?

It's not really comparable with my Nate, they are very different razors. Both are excellent quality, the Nate has a Spanish point and isn't too different from your PRC in terms of blade shape. The Koraat is much bigger and heavier, but that's why I went for it.

It's fair to say that they are both really well put together but the similarity ends there.

I can't compare the shaves as Mrs Porl has hidden it away somewhere! I will be happy if my Koraat shaves as well as my Nate. I have no doubt that it will.
