The Big Shave 11th November 2017

Todays big shave I am mixing it up a little. I have been using wedges and near wedges for a while BUT about a month ago I bought a beautiful 11/16” Custom Bellied Full Hollow from Victor Creazzi - his website details are included in the video and below. Victor’s razor was so sharp and comfortable that I did a 4-pass shave. ZERO razor burn - just wonderful.

BTW De Vergulde Hand in Dutch translates to The Gilded Hand

Herman, if you want to try a great boar brush, the Zenith 28 x 61mm is excellent. It probably has the best boar knot I have ever tried.
