This razor is really good! The blade have a very long lasting sharpness and the steel is very hard. The black horn scales are a tactile delight. I think it's about 80 years old. A simple but beautiful razor.
Have a nice day!
Starting the week off in style:

Notes: Pretty effortless and reasonably close. I liked the shave but used too much pressure to try and achieve a smoother result. Quite forgiving though as wedges tend to be.

All day and half the night cram session yesterday, not even time for a shave. Naturally the day after a skip is the best shave ever. I feel like a human being again. As ready as I'm likely to get to start a new week. Have a great Monday.
