    Just watched ya video and think I should point out that your strokes are too long, your lather is too dry and your not stretching the skin properly. ( insert sarcasm ) LOL.

    I love your videos Magnus, keep them coming mate.

    I love the machining of these mid-20th-century Gillette safety razors. It's like holding the Chrysler Building in your hand.
