    Robeson ShurEdge that I finished honing last night. From the first stroke I knew it was good. I enjoyed a smooth effortless shave. 2 passes with a little touch up on my chin. I'm stoked! Happy shaving guys!

    That razor is easy on the eyes for sure. The logo on the scale is interesting. Sweet!

    Tonight's shave was with an inexpensive razor that cost less than $3, in a lot of Chinese razors I bought. When this razor was honed, the shaves were as good as any of my more Famous and Popular razors. This Chinese razor has some very nice steel, and it just gives great shaves. I did a two pass shave that was as smooth as silk, with BBS results. No incidents.

    I haven't shaved for 4 days. So I decided to bust this Frameback out. I was not disappointed. This sucker was singing like burnt toast.
    I finished with one of my best SR shaves. A solid DFS. Still could feel some on my neck.

    Have a great week!

    After honing my Wade and Butcher wedge yesterday, I took it out for a spin this morning. Wow! It was a two pass shave and I ended up mostly BBS. The weight of this razor probably makes it the heaviest that I have. It was a nice shave and I'm glad to have this one in my rotation.

    First shave with my birth year Russian Mockba (Moscow.) Really sharp and made short work of the beard for a really close shave. You definitely don't want to get a little careless with this one. :happy088: Shaves as good as it looks.

    Divorce Bismarck 6/8. I'm really getting to enjoy the grip on the shoulderless design of this razor. Uber smoothness :cool:
