Koraat Razor
Good day all.. I just got back from being on the road for a few weeks and my wife had picked up my new Koraat from the PO a week ago... Needless to say i was like a child waiting for Christmas morning all the way home!! I waited to open her up until this morning and WOW!! this is such a gorgeous peice of steel, like a lamb chop in my hand. I could stare at this for hours! As to not go on forever illl just say that im so happy that i went with Ulrik on my first custom razor. I waited for a number of years before deciding on what i wanted.. It took me that long to find out what is best for me.. Took about 25-30 razors but was worth it. I highly recommend Ulrik if anyone is thinking of a custom.. Easy to work with, great value, fantastic shave, beautiful workmanship, etc.. An fyi also. These are not heavy by any means but they are a big razor. I ordered the 6/8 and mine measures a full 7/8 from the spine, probably a 6/8 from the hollow but didnt check.. Just to keep in mind if you are wondering about how the size is... Anyway thanks for letting me ramble a little bit and have a good day

I'm confused. You say you ordered a 6/8. Your picture shows a 14 which as far as I know only comes in a 24mm width (hence the name).

Koraat razors are very nice and Urlik does an outstanding job

Congrats on your new blade.
You are 100% correct. Ulrik is tops to buy from. Does outstanding work. And I still get a great deal of enjoyment every time I use mine. Which is frequently.
It's my only "New" razor. I went with the thinned option for my 14 2.0. It's fit, finish and grind is superlative.
Welcome to the club. Ken.

A beauty!
Has anyone shaved with the stabilized and non-versions? Curious...

I only have the one Koraat. But two of my other vintage razors have the bellied hollow grind. A Griffon Carbo Magnetic. And a Robeson New Science Concave.
The Robeson is very thin between the spine "ridge" near the edge. It is as noisy as a lot of my extra hollows. The shaves are good. But I can't say for certain that there is difference in "how" they shave feel wise. Like them either way really. My $.02. Kensharptonn likes this.
