Hello gents, I just received back my 7 Koraat razors!!! I am going to try to post them one at a time. Ulrik was willing to custom re grind these razors because of my beard type. They completed these razors for a great price and very timely manner. Yes this is a :tubump for their outstanding customer service!!! Thank you Attachment 268827Attachment 268828Attachment 268829
A lovely looking razor, congrats on your acquisition.
Ulrik is the kind of guy that will always go "above and beyond." He is truly a pleasure to do business with.
I'd be interested to hear if the regrinds help with your shaving.
Enjoy!

I will post about the shave experience!Quote:

I would say the re ground geometry is way more accommodating for my beard. Couldn't be a happier shaver, now to put a Jnat edge on her...
I am glad this worked out for you. I love my Koraat and would buy another tomorrow if Mrs Porl would allow it.
Congrats.
Thank you! I have had them for a very long time before sending them all back to have this major work done. I am so relieved to finally be able to shave with these beauties! I will be loading the other 6 Koraats soon!!!Quote:

You won't go far wrong with a Koraat.Quote:

Not only do they look really good, less expensive if you buy from His website (if you can control yourself with the blade options of course), they are fantastically easy to shave with, really well balanced, easy to hone and easy to strop!Quote:

Cool blades ..Enjoy..
I love those spacers, especially the ones that really contrast. It kind of reminds of a tuxedo with a bow tie. Not sure why, but there it is.Quote:
