New Razor...Julius Dirlam
Today I got a hone and I got a razor and a DVD from Lynn in the same deal.
I thought I was going to use the Razor to learn how to hone but it was sharp, straight and ready to go.. so I just cleaned it, stropped it and shaved with it..and it was good! no pullingI just heared some hairs screaming and jumping from my face to avoid the blade..
Its not a pretty shaver but I like it already. Its a Julius Dirlam wedge, spikepoint.. it has quite some pitting but I just dont care actualy..

I like the fact that you don't care about the pitting/flaws. Old razors are supposed to have some character (at least in my mind).

It was made in Solingen, Germany.

@hoglahoo:The hone I got is a colticule/belgian blue combination stone.. it has some flaws as well but I think it will be pretty usable..

I think its cool when someone actually likes a razor for its performance and not its cosmetics.I have a few not so pretty razors that give a dang nice shave.Good for you you got a great shaver. Originally Posted by mlangstr
