I do enjoy a bigger blade when shaving the knob!

It is a close to 10/8 made by Robert Williams, based on a sketch I drew for him to work from.

It was like adding butter to a well done slice of toast

The result?

I am glad you enjoyed your razor/shave. Gorgeous Razor, use it in good health!!

Hmmmm. Now you got me thinking. I've been waiting to buy another straight to shave the Friday morning void. Now I'm thinking maybe I should fill that gap with a kamisori?

Did a quick sketch this morning, of todays SOTD

Feather RG (and professionals)/Simpson Chubby 2/Vulfix luxury English Rose cream/Dr Harris Sandalwood AS/Neil Miller strops

Fantastic clean and close shave (Uberclean ), this razor's all about clinic and function, even though I find it a little empty on "heart", but I'll keep it and shave with it now and then with pleasure, anyway - it's a damned fine shaver!

Hi Mikael, I see you finally got your hands on a Feather razor then, as you said a little empty on the heart, but very hard to beat as a shaver, fantastic razor IMO.
