    Default GEP3

    I bet I am the only person on here who has this razor.

    I bought it from a knife maker in Birmingham AL for 40 bucks. It is 1084 steel (1095s less corrosion resistant brother) and came very sharp.

    Have you shaved with it? Looks like it would be hard to hold.

    Yes I did. It was not difficult to hold but it is also my first razor.

    I like it! What is the blade length? It looks like it would be great for the chin and upper lip areas.

    Do you know if it's truly shave ready?

    I do not. As I have never owned a straight before. But it looked around and read up and tried it out and it took less force than a disposable razor.

    That is one serious pivot pin on that razor.

    A razor should not take any "force" to cut whiskers, nor should they pull whiskers.

    It didnt really take much at all pretty much just sliding it across my face. And I did not feel much of a pull either
