    Excellent - thank-you for sharing, another great video.

    Interesting, I use the exact same grip for ATG and do most of my shaving passes very similar to yours - except I've got the old, receding hair-line, mandatory goatee....

    Great video. I like small razors but I've never tried a 3/8.

    Lovely little razor

    This next to your 10/8" Sprecher would make a cool picture.

    Very cool little Helejstrand razor. Watching the video has peaked my curiosity. I want to try one now!

    I have an old pair of Holley wedges one is 4/8 and the other 3/8 and both shave perfectly! Thanks for the video.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    I use a 4/8s on a regular basis and it shaves just as good as any other razor no matter the size. I do draw the line at 4/8s though. Anything smaller was actually made for trim work not actual shaving. I find it hard to hold on to the smaller ones. I have a 2/8s which is really hard to manipulate. Just trying to strop it is hard enough.

    Another fine video, Mags, with inspired music once again.

    I am lucky to have a MK29 and, yes, it is small and yes, it shaves superbly.

    The t-shell looks very nice, Magnus. As usual, the video was nicely made.
