Nobody but @thombrogan and me wants to participate in High Efficiency Razors Summer???

It’s only the 22nd, Dave. There’s plenty of time. I’ll be in for August, SEptember, and OCtober, too.

I'm usually late getting theme month threads started.

I just noticed the change in Thom's @thombrogan signature (great idea Thom so I adjusted my signature as well!) - hadn't spotted this thread yet. Of course I am in! Most of my razors are Highly Efficient!

Recently started doing blades One & Done so I didn't know if this blade was a good pair for a high efficiency razor. Turned out great. The Brass'Bird is a very good razor. I wish I had the OC plate.

 

[StewB]

I'll get in on this one also...

I started June with the stainless steel R41 (I pair it with the Mühle tortoiseshell handle). This is a great razor when used with care!

MMOC / GEM PTFE / Oumo Warhammer ST-1 / Brito lime / Seaforth sea ice lime / Gabel's lime menthol – I never really got into AC razors mostly due to the blade width, but I like the Gem format. The MMOC works great. I picked up two different Damaskeene versions really cheap but I need to get them re-plated.
