The white one shaves like a dream. The black one I bought new and it's one of the new stock ones.
That being said it still shaves good but nowhere near as good as the white one. I just have to find someone to do miracles on the edge I guess?

Nice blade I bought on the Bay with nice/cool scales + it came shave ready enough - even though I donīt know how good an edge these normaly takes though. Nannys soapīs so nice, slick and good lather with a very nice scent indeed - it almost have a fresh citrus candy like scent and feel. Not as slick as Cella though, but no soap is :nono:

Yup another great shave by this small razor... Probably my last with it... just to small for me...
Hot Shower
Wade and Butcher Wedge
Omega Boar Brush
Omega Eucalyptus Soap
Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Classic
Polo Black
First go with this soap and I must say I was quite impressed the eucalyptus provides a mild but very noticeable menthol kick. There was plenty of lather too. Enough in fact for 3 passes and a good face washing afterwards. I like this one a lot. And this razor (once the dog of my fleet) just seems to deliver BBS shaves effortlessly. They seem to get a little better every time I use it too.
