Shave: A fair old bit of burn and not quite BBS with some nicks under the chin (I'm in a bit of a rush to get to my new job right now, so that will have contributed, but I also think it's time for a new blade - 5 shaves would appear to be the very limit on this brand for me).

An interesting shave today!
A shave for me was not necessary after the stellar shave yesterday.

I received this razor in the mail and proceeded to try my hand at sharpening it on the barber's hones I have and then gave it 80 laps on the TM Strop, A quick test on my arm hair, hmmm, yes, it felt good and wiped the hair right off. Now I really wanted to shave with it and not needing a shave myself, I called the wife and asked if she would let me shave her legs. She agreed but had no idea the instrument I intended to use.

After some hesitation she agreed to let me shave her legs. After I was finished, All she could say was (WOW).

Unknown Maker (Silberstahl Solingen),That is all that is on it.
