Driving This Miss Daisy
I cleaned this dandy 1880-ish razor some more and honed, polished, and stropped her for a first shave. She proved up very well. Gave me a peach of a shave, but needs a pinch of extra honing at the toe. I recon this is the only hollow ground blade I really fancy. No noise and no nicks to boot. It is nice to work a razor with substantial scales. Much obliged for the interest and kindly feedback. I am fixing to start using some of that archaic slang just to ape a persona of the 19th Century. It would require a right smart amount of effort, but commencing that is old hat now.
My father talked like that. He was born in 1898, but he never mastered straight razor shaving. I own the brass King Gillette double-edge he was issued in 1918. It wll make blood appear like the dickens!...
