Re: Sun September 16th - Sat September 23rd
The razor is ace and honed by a great guy here on SRP... This was my first shave with an SR. It looks far far worse than it actually is. I love it though.

Great, er Shaves today men!
It only gets better!
Cool Nostalgic shave with an old Wilkinson Empire with the Sunday blade in. Poraso ubered up, Thater and AQV. Blades were not too bad on this oldie, so I charged a strop with CrOx and ran it on this blade and then some leather. Top-heavy thing, hard to get used to! I started adjusting the blade and wound up with the most aggressive setting. Shaved pretty good. I think I will just hone this blade and start over. If I grow to like this beast more, I will hone the others!
Definitely a different shaving experience. Did not appear to be dangerous in the least!
Have a great week, ALL!
Tom

Woke up late and feeling lazy about it, so no shave today. Despite that, let me say that there are incredible shaves being shown gentlemen. I thank you all!

Awesome little beasties, what? If well honed and stropped, they can be as good as a blade on a stick can get. Thanks Tom, for bringing it out of the cold! Originally Posted by sharptonn
