TI 7/8 full hollow

 

Sorry I've been away for a while, had trouble with my internet. I recently got another SR but have no idea who made it. It's a large 3/4 round point blade but has no markings on it at all that I can see. It shaves OK, but it's a little rough so I need to have someone hone it for me. If anyone knows who made this SR please let me know.

I Had a Nice Easy 2 Pass Shave Today with My Puma Extra Hollow 6/8th..A Pleasure to Use as Usual..Very Thin Grind on this SR and it Seems to Hug the Contours of the Face like a Limpet..I Came Across a Thread Recently & a Guy got One of these NOS Puma 91s from the Factory & it Shaved from the Box with a Few Laps on the Strop..It Oozes 1930s Germany..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

Just picked up this Wade & Butcher from @Drygulch. Had to try the new coconut sandlewood from Mystic Waters while I was at it. Very pleasant soap

 

A new custom Koraat arrived today from Austria. Just 18 days from order to door step. Ulrik of Koraat was pleasure to work with. While I prefer round points Ulrik rounded the corner at point so I don't cut myself. This a big heavy 7/8 with a 1/4 grind.

 

Beautiful Looking SR..

Thank you. The scales look even better in person.

Honed and stropped today. This was the first hone done on it since it left the factory.. It had minor rust, here and there, so I cleaned it up a little. I needed to see if it would hold an edge. It did, easily.. I like the shave with it, very much. Except under the nose. Dang this a big blade. Very smooth, comfortable shave. Its going in my permanent rotation, what little I have. If anyone has a chance to purchase one of these, I would highly recommend getting one.

I Had a Lovely Cool Summer Evening Shave with My GAEL Solingen 6/8th..This is a High End Version of the much Acclaimed GOTTA Superfine 6/8th that was Made for the Spanish Market..I Have a GOTTA 6/8th & its a Darn Fine Shaver..The GAEL has a Far Thinner Grind..This SR must be the Lightest SR that I have..The Grind is Like Paper.,Looks More Like a Sorta Aircraft Alloy than Carbon Steel..These Must be Very Rare as I have Never Seen another One..Oh..Man..What a Sweet Sweet Shaver..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..
