A newbie discovers SRAD....
Ill start with my favorite, the recent acquisition that changed the experience for me completely,though i already loved it.
Koraat filarmonica 2.0 with rounded point and tough beard mod, transparent blue scales. Full hollow. This mows down my tough stubble effortlessly. It cuts my shave time in half, one pass gives a DFS for most spots. I do find it tricky to do upper lip without some blood but I think I can learn. From the first pass, this blade was true love.
Filarmonica 14, blue scale. Also true love at first pass. This was not restored by me, bit of a smile but sharp as. For me it is a very nice shave but the stubborn hairs take a couple passes and/or buffing strokes.
Dovo inox SS - My first blade. Great beginner experience. No complaints but I outgrew it pretty quickly
Koraat custom with rosewood scales and rounded square point. Extra full hollow. Regular edge, not tough beard mod. Very nice shave, only used once as it arrived at a busy time. Sharp out of the box with some stropping. Love the presentation and construction of these pieces. Ulrik does fantastic work and is a pleasure to work with.
Fili 14 with black scales- not honed yet. Came from Spain. I will need to take my time to hone this beast sometime soon!
