Ugliest razor you use?
What is the ugliest razor you use?
Seeing an old razor on a thread here,I figured that I would start a thread about Razors with a tale to tell.
Why did you save it and only clean it up?
What are its redeeming features?
This along with an old shave stand came into my possession a few years back. It has stories of a good razor needing scales out in the great beyond.
As to redeeming features, It shaves a treat!!
Downside now over...It was a bear to hone the first time. Now, 1 layer of tape ad a micro bevel.
I'd love to see some more Ugly step sons!

Well loved James Codfer, Wilkinson Stick, horse hair brush, Royall "Bay Rhum"
Future to the Back!
Somewhere around the turn of the 20th Century a man at a ranch out west was set to shave the best he knew how. His kit is still as good as it gets!

Thanked: 3795Notice how wonderfully parallel the edge and spine are? You gotta love the quality of that grinding.

Thanked: 1184No nice story here just A guy wanted a Duck and won one with a primary bid on the cheap. My first Duck advertised " You may be able to get a few more shaves out of it " I did . And you said "use" and I do that once in awhile too. I started working on a 7 day set of these Hand Forged Ducks. Honestly don't know how far I am along on that but half way I'm sure. I have other ugliness but this is one I use.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
