Comments: Shave was a bit harsh for me. I am not sure if it was the razor itself or the blades. I have always found feather blades to be harsh but as I dont know of any other source for blades that fit Valets I guess dont have much choice.

Oh yeah and this is my first SOTD, hopefully there will be many more

Depending on the model of auto strop razor you have, this may help you with an alternate for blades. It is a bit long winded but you'll get the drift.

This was a shave of note. I had almost given up on coticules, I was never happy with the edges whether honed by myself or others. However, today that all changed. The shave off of this coticule was close and smooth, yet keen.
