Rescued this little razor and I have to say the shave is sweet. I have never seen a little 4/8 wedge blade like this. The top half of the blade appears to have been phosphate coated for corrosion protection. The scales cleaned up nice and green. One for the collection. Have a great week.

Thanked: 1185Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Dovo Shavette
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Aqua Velva Classic
Finish: Agua Lavanda Puig
Dug this shavette out from under the cabinet. Haven't had a shave with this since I don't remember when (probably well over 3 years ago.) The good news is that it will deliver an absolutely CBS shave. The bad news is that it doesn't feel as comfortable in your hand and it doesn't need much of a good excuse to draw blood.
