This is my other birth year Russian razor - the last one was from the ZTV factory, this one is from the STIZ factory. Less sharp but more forgiving. This was the second shave on it since I touched it up on the white Arkie. Very little alum noise and no drama while shaving. Maybe not as close a shave as the ZTV but face-rubbing goodness for sure.
