Leslie razor with lawnmower spiral stropper.
Bespoke Leslie blade has protrusions either end (rear side) that act as a screwdriver to adjust two micro-screws in the razor head to alter the blade angle and also act to hold the blade within the inner surfaces of two retaining wheels in the stropper.
Adapted (rear ends snipped back) half of a DE blade will fit in the razor (still working on adapting to fit the stropper…).
Simpson Wee Scot, Arko stick, King of Shaves oil, Nivea Sensitive balm.
