He doesn't. Or handles at all, that I have seen. I added them, using leather fittings and hardware graciously supplied by Tony Miller. A huge improvement, given my preferred stropping techniques.
This thread gave me a hankering for a Japanese SR shave. I have this in the honing queue:
A quick test with just the 12k finish hone and the balsa progression did not revive it.
Backup:
My only shave ready Japanese steel, Nichiri 300 Manaslu. But what is with this marking on the reverse?
I'd fooled around with the Super Cross 1000 Super Doll for so long I got in one Manaslu pass and was hustled out to the car with just an SAS. Bedtime second shave with my Mingoose finally smoothed things up. Good night, all!
I am a bit late with my weekly post, but the weather has been so fine, the forest so enchanting and the garden unfortunately so neglected.... Today it's snowing.
My shaver this week is this half hollow Hellberg razor.
For now continuing with my post-FFFMM practice - try to use each razor 2 days in a row to up the familiarity. That said the Torrey got me thru 3-passes with no irritation or cuts on Day 1. Am I beginning to have a change of heart about favorite grind? The Torrey is very hollow, feedback much more audible than recent choices. I like the noise, but the shave did not seem as close as I have gotten from recent stiffer blades. Anyway, this is the point of the new rotation, it will get another shot tomorrow!
RAZOR: Comoy's of London 6/8"
CREAM: Lea
BRUSH: Jack the Barber synthetic knot
STROP: Dovo double sided hanging leather
AFTERSHAVE: YSL Korous
OPPS! Looks like I never pushed the post button on yesterday's post. Lea was a good soap and will make an excellent travel stick along with the synthetic brush and Chinese blade.
