Picked up this Robert Klaas "Prussia" razor (with the non-kissing cranes.) http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...ilies/wink.gif Robt. Klaas has a great reputation for quality razors but, I wasn't sure what the Prussia was all about. I'm not sure if there was a Prussian works or it was produced in Germany for export to Prussia. At any rate, it's probably around 100 years old since there hasn't been a Prussia since 1918. It's a great shaver and I am very happy with it! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...ilies/cool.gif Great shaves shown this morning Gentlemen! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...s/happy005.gif

which is not overpowering, reminds me of a shot of Bourbon.
