A farewell shave and a test shave in one. I sold this razor to a new straight shaver from the UK. As this will be his first, I put some extra effort in getting the razor as shave ready as I can. Glad to say that he will not be disappointed.
The shave was smooth and enjoyed to the tunes of Jackie McLean - Capuchin Swing (1960).
