Well I've let my beard get to 7 days of growth again
This razor has never been up against growth this heavy, but I thought I'd put it to the test.
It passed well. A two pass DFS.
I think this is my 6th shave with my home made razor and It's holding it's edge well, I'm declaring it a sucess.

Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the great posts and pics.

Thanks Grant. It's difficult to cross bridges before we come to them, but we all try to do it, unfortunately..

This was my grandfathers razor, he gave it to me when I was in my early 20's because I asked for it. He used an electric forever and thought of this old razor as a curiosity. I had it in my drawer for more than 30 yrs and tried it for the second time today. It's fun! But will never take the place of my straights.

Have a Great Sunday Gents!

My prayers go out to your family and Bailey, Carl!
