First shave with this beautiful razor. I am impressed!
http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...ilies/cool.gif Got this off the Bay and wasn't sure what condition it would be in but, it has the Father of our country on it so...WTH! It cleaned up super nice and the image of George just pops off the blade! Hit it a few strokes on the hone and it took a sickening sharp edge. This morning was the closest and smoothest BBS shave I have EVER had from any razor DE, SE or Straight! Three passes and perfection. The sound of the wedge scraping meat was soft and smooth but the end result was slick skin! What an experience! Now I have to get this beauty rescaled because the old Ox Horn scales are shot. (A piece of string is holding the wedge end together.)

I hope everyone had as great a shave as I experienced this morning!
