    Default Red Injun no.101 shave today was the best of my life!

    I finally got through a shave with the 101 with the best shave in my life. It is a 1/2" square blade and has alway "bitten" me in the past. It was a razor off E-Bay that had bad scales and I rescaled and had a lot of enjoyment doing it. I have been using a straight for about 5 months. Do smaller blades like this one make it easier to get a better shave or is it just "Boker Magic"? Man, what a "Sticky" skin shave!!!! These old timers knew how to shave, didn't they?

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Could be the Boker - I have a 5/8 Red Injun 101 and it's easily my favorite of the 6 I have in rotation.
    Nice job on the scales!

    Congrats! Most of the best shaves that I have gotten have been from 5/8 blades, but everyone is different.....enjoy the Boker!
