Nice!

My 7/8” Ralf Aust arrived this late afternoon.

Looks Scha-weet!

Weather here is a smidgen damp. And it was also delayed a few days because of bad weather back East. So I will wait a day or two (as the blade is a smidgen off center on the scales), before taking some corrective action.

It is tree-topping the hairs on my arms, so I will leave it like it is (without stropping) for my first shave.

It’s a bit late to shave now. But I have not shaved in two days in expectation for receiving this straight. So tomorrow morning will be my first shave.

It looks good on my shaving sink.
