Quijote's wet shaving journey

[Quijote]

Straight Shave 34

Waterville Cutlery 6/8
Stirling Synthetic
Stirling Naked and Smooth
LT DC / Barbasol Pacific Rush

This morning, I got up and did the HHT on this razor. It passed, barely. So, I took it to the balsa and now it is easily passing. First pass went great, but the blade looks huge on my face compared to my other 2 which are 5/8. Second pass also went well. I ended up with a DFS so close to a BBS that it has one foot in the door. This is definitely a keeper. The only questions now are do I fix the pin myself or send it to someone? And do I use the same scales or make custom ones? I sent a message to the seller asking if he knew if they are original. If they are, I will use these. If not, then I have a decision to make.

Great Sunday shave there, Don! The razor is a beauty, too.

Sounds like good progress, Don. What is wrong with the pin?

Someone messed up on the back side and bent it over. Instead of fixing it, they just left it.

It works fine for now, but I will fix it at some point. Maybe when things slow down a little around here.
