    3 years since I pulled this off the shelf… bent tip, heel hook, edge imperfections and all. I never feel edge issues with these old, heavier grind Sheffield’s. Throw it at a Coticule and all is good. :)

    Saturday evening shave, SSA 5/8”. If you don’t have one, get one! Lovely razors from Eskilstuna. Quite short production time sadly, if I remember correctly about 4 years.
