    Not sure why the pipe logo but there was a trademark infringement dispute over it I believe.

    Thanks John. It shaves like butter too. Sheffield razors are famous for their edge from the coticule and this one is the best example I have ever shaved with. It feels like it is literally wiping the whiskers away.

    It’s been mentioned before that Sheffield razors and coticules seem to fit. I wonder what it is about the steel that makes that so.
