What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

[haggis]

Interesting timing. I have one incoming although I don't think it's particularly minty. I was (and remain) puzzled by the scallops! Can't wait to see it in person.

I think you are going to enjoy it! This one took a rip roaring good edge, and delivered a fantastic shave!

Congrats!

So what separates a Friodur 72 1/2 from a Friodur 72?

1/2 signifies round point for Henckels, at least the later ones.

First run with my new MK 30. I've had poor experiences with small razors before so I was a little nervous.

Uh. Wow.

I could not believe how delicate and light, almost dainty, my 31 was/is. I find it's lightness leads me to a light touch in the shave too. I get very good shaves from it, almost to my surprise each time.

Yes. Delicate is the word. Honing was nervewracking. The shave was great, no pressure at all but didn't skip or chatter. No blood, not even a hint of a weeper.

The blade is actually 9/16 on the nose, but it's shorter than my EA Berg 4/8 by almost a 1/2". I think that makes a huge difference in maneuverability.
