Shake Sharp v2, without the benefit of the stabilizing shim I use with the Bakelite v1, is a very aggressive (and noisy) razor, extremely efficient as well, so much so I almost folded the head shave after one ATG pass. Not one to waste lather, dolphin smooth after two. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

SOTD: Vintage stubtail razor from William Greaves & Sons (c.1830s), Mitchell's Wool Fat soap, Jayaruh custom 24mm synthetic, and Musgo Real No. 3 "Spiced Citrus." The heavy 'rattler' grind on this razor combined with the long, smiling & keenly sharp edge make for a unique shaving experience. I enjoyed every minute of it. Have a blessed Tuesday, gents!
