I originally bought this razor because it reminded me of my boyhood infatuation with pocket knives. Who hasn't heard of, and probably owned, a Barlow Knife? It's turned out to be one of my best shavers. Good Old James was quite the craftsman.

Thanks @ Frank Shaves... I’m not sure what the difference is between engraved or stamped. I can tell you however I can feel with my thumbnail Ralf Aust cut somehow into the metal of the tang. It is not just printed on the surface.

Torrey today for the head shave. Not sure of the model (maybe a Gibraltar?) because the markings are almost gone.

Today’s shave was 8/10, which for me means one of my best ever! I haven’t strictly counted my SR shaves, but I started my SR journey in mid-October and sometime in the past week or two I should have passed the 100 shave mark. The brush made a great lather such that I had leftovers after the 3rd pass, the soap was slick on my face, and the SR removed whiskers without leaving my face feeling raw. I even pulled off a half-decent execution of a Fool’s Pass! I have not quite reached the level of Zen that others talk about, but I think I can see it from where I am now.

Oh and since I have 3 wedges among my ~20 SRs, I am declaring this another Wedge Wednesday!

Currently only have vintages but at some point when I am confident about what I want, I will splurge for a new razor. At this point Aust 6/8 is pretty high on my list along with Koraat 14.2

I have no other SRs to compare with, but I am very happy with the two RA 6/8 I own.
