Thread: Koraat 14 2.0 Impressions

Hi,

thank you for the kind review Jay! I am very glad that you enjoy your shaves with the razor so much.

I am wondering if your EPBD is stiffer than your other hollow ground razors? Because that would be my way to optimize the shave for very heavy and coarse beard on a full hollow.

Concerning the Logo:

The problem is, that we must heat the scales to stamp the logo in. And it has shown that the temperature range between a nicely embossed logo and a completly warped scale blank is veeeerrrrry small. Further it can happen that the logo looks nice, but isn´t stamped deep enough and will be removed during final grinding and polishing of the scales.
We have lost many scales due to this technical issues.
We will try another technique to stamp it within the next weeks, and if that works we will offer it again.

I like the double stabilizer feature, personally. There is a 15 dollar option of a thinned belly. I would like to know more about that.

This option is a further grinding step which reduces the dimension of the belly, makes the blade even thinner and louder while shaving. This grind is the closest to the original filarmonica 14.
Here is a comparison:
