Shave test today
Jernbolaget from the early 1800s
MWF
Mojo Handcrafts
Pinaud Clubman
First off, a great shave from the Jernbolaget. I love this blade shape and, if course, the heavier grind of the period. I really enjoyed using this razor despite the extremely light weight of the scales (I've been told they are original micarta). It was wonderfully sharp, though the edge off the les latenuses seemed "toothy" against my face. Moreso than the two Sheffield blades I've honed on that stone. Maybe because of the harder Swedish steel? I'll have to play with it to see if I can smooth it out some. Ah, the fun of straights...
