First shave with the funky rescale Greaves. I was concerned because there is some texture (can't really call it pitting) near the bevel. BUT, I could tell from bevel set it was nothing to worry about. She honed readily and worked really well tonight! While not saying much, I think it's my best edge to date.

Relaxing shave at the end of a long day. Arko kept me awake, the excellent edge courtesy of njtnjt made it easy and comfortable.

wonderful shave this morn. I'm really liking the buffalo scales on this restore. there is a certain satisfaction of using a fine piece that you have brought back to life and honed yourself to a fine edge!!!!
be well all.

Great razor. Great shave.
Feeling a little stressed in the soap department. Arko August approaches and I have the tail end of my Tabac puck left. I hate the thought of storing mere dregs while I commit to a month of Arko, so I'm trying desperately to finish the Tabac before the end of the month. If successful I will of course replaced it with more Tabac, but at least it will not be just dregs in the drawer during August.
I thought I got into this hobby to relieve stress ...
I'm too much of a........soap "mistress of the night" to be cornered into any soap schedule. that'd be the end of me surely!!!

Just about the nicest shave I've had from this one.
Its VERY light in the hand for a large razor.
Even with a layer of tape it is only 15.5 degrees.

I've been away, hence the late answer. I'm glad that you liked it
1st Gen Salamanca Fili 14! Wonderful shave!
I received this little Kamisori from Tony Milton yesterday and gave it a go this morning. Perfectly shave ready, and very nice for a little razor at ~40mm cutting edge, about 5/8 high. My shave was a very nice DFS.
Tim Zowada 6/8 “Carbon Series”. Purpleheart scales. The most elegant razor I own. I often think of it as the shaving version of a Jedi Light Saber.
