I hope it fits my face
This Robeson ShurEdge arrived this afternoon:
After a few minutes with some Flitz, Mothers, and some elbow grease:
It's sharp enough that a few passes on my Swaty may be all it takes to make it shave ready. We shall see!When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

My razor is a model 35H350, "Ground and Honed for Heavy Beard, Very Tender Skin. (Rounded end for nervous man)":
The "heavy beard" fits, but I don't know about the "very tender skin" and "nervous man" parts.

Great looking razor, and what a cool catch phrase those marketing geniuses came up with. "The razor that fits your face"

Yeah, Charlie is good people.
He's been collecting Robeson and Terrier stuff for a long time. He's done a lot of research and is probably the best "go to" guy for any info on those two brands.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973. The oath I swore has no statute of limitation.

Yeah, the "Razor that fits your face" seems like good marketing but....."rounded end for the nervous man." I think that is kind of funny marketing....you go in a store to buy a razor and the salesman brings out a square point, hands it to you and you start shaking.....he quickly snatches it back and gives you a rounded end.

All it took was a few passes on my Swaty, and my arm hairs didn't stand a chance! The resulting shave was close and very comfortable; I even felt confident enough to try ATG behind my jaw (with decent results, and no bloodletting).
My first experience with a ShurEdge was a very good one.Wullie and ultrasoundguy2003 like this.When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
