Every time I use this razor I laugh. She was so pitted up I actually had thrown it in the garbage and wasn't even going to try and save it. I decided I might as well buff her up some and found she might have some life in her. Is she ugly? Yes... All but the faintest trace of her etchings are gone off the blade and the tang is very faint etching also except the makers marks are still fair. But over the last year she has held her edge and marched on.....
So how was the shave? EXCELLENT! Two mile run and PT this morning followed by a nice hot shower and UBER lather that was great. Off for helping a friendand maybe a nice relaxing lunch.
Be good all!
Except you Rene'! Go have fun but be safe!
