Thank you. I just rescaled it. Yes this razor melts them away. Absolutely love this razor.

Nick, It IS weird stuff. As you say, cushion & glide good - but it disappears and dries. One time, I got it right - it stayed fluffy, in place, didn't go away. 'Just wish I could recreate it. I haven't been able to.

If I find how to do, I'll let you know. Pls. do the same. It's a product that seems mostly good, but either it has to be lathered by a really narrow method, or has a glaring defect.

I think i will stay with this soap to try to figure it out. I will let you know if i see anything that will help. Very slippery stuff. hard to streatch the skin. LOL

It was my first shave with it, but I absolutely loved it. I was actually very surprised, but this thing shaved much bigger than it looks....if that makes sense.

It took an edge very easy and the shave was really smooth and very, very comfortable.

Cool! I believe mine need to be touched up a bit. Great little razor.

You guys are making me so jello with those Solgen blades....

This blade is prob. a Klas Törnblom and made for a company, boy what a sweet shaver. I think it´s a 3/4 grind ... but it feels like a near wedge in how she behaves, but surely it´s a 3/4!? Innsbruck works very nicely for me, I like it!

5/8 Sheffield Wedge | Kanayama | Shavemac Silvertip | Ogallala Bay Rum + CarrieM Black Raspberry Vanilla + Glycerin | Thayers Lavender | CarrieM AS Milk | Sandalwood Skinfood | Montale Original Oud

I wasn't sure how the BRV and the BR would play together, but they got along wonderfully. The BR has that great spicy clove scent and the sweetness of the Raspberry made for a phenomenal smell in the piles and piles of luxurious lather I've come to expect from uber-ing CarrieM's cream! The Wedge mowed down the whiskers and left me with a nice smooth face.

Enjoy your weekends, gentlemen!

Stunning composition featuring an incredibly beautiful razor! Nothing like fueling my desire to order one of Gabor's custom beauties!
