Thanked: 603Thank you! It's one of my favorite Gillette DE razors, and I especially like the "barber-pole" knurling on its handle. It's a two-piece razor: the handle and blade-guard are a single unit; twisting the handle loosens/tightens the removable top, clamping the blade. For a 99-year-old razor, it's in lovely condition. I debated whether to include the razor box in my SOTD photo (it's creamy ivory-colored plastic, with a purple padded lining and matching twin "ivory" blade containers). And yes, I find it to be eminently "user friendly"! :-)

This is the second shave with the Hart after my first shave proved to be fairly disappointing, so a major reworking of the edge was called for, so back to the low grit wheels total removal of the edge including the bevel on the 150 grit wheel, then onto the 300 grit wheel up through the compounds, then back to the Naniwa's new bevel reset up through the progression pasted bench strop linen suede leather, now she shaves as a Hart razor should shave, well the difference between the edge and shaves are like night and day beautifully smooth, as good an edge as I have on any razor I own.Last edited by celticcrusader; 07-04-2013 at 05:27 AM.
