A great shave to start the week. This week I'm using my '5 day' set. I haven't engraved the blades with the week days, it would cost as much as the Chinese razors are worth! :D
 
Went the complete opposite of my Koraat yesterday...

Johan Engström Frameback
Eufros Fougere
Rudy Vey 2020 B&B Contributors' Brush
Pinaud Clubman

Night and day experience compared to the very hefty Koraat. But the result was every bit as close and smooth. Great shave from this fiddly little thing.

Still not understanding the hype about Eufros... Nice, but nothing special for me so far.

I have two of these RusRazors, a damascus one, and this one made out of ШХ 15 tool steel. They are both top tier shavers, and the only modern day straight razors that immeadiately reminded me of the early to mid 1800s Sheffield Steel during the shave.

This one is .9 inches (23mm) wide, and the cutting edge is just over 3.25 inches long...I have nicknamed it the Sweeney Todd.

One might think that it would be difficult to shave using a razor with these dimensions, but the Sweeney Todd is a lithe and nimble blade with ergonomics that simply put...work.

I just bought a similar Johan Engstrom Frameback looking forward to shaving with it.

I appear to have an on again off again romance with Mitchell’s Wool Fat. One time it works fine and the next not so good. I’m beginning to believe that life is too short for the aggravation[emoji848]
