Those are Full Hollow Grinds..They Hone Up Using the Exact Same Method as an SR..One Layer of Tape..Those Kampfe Razors are Kinda Mid to Mild Shavers with a Properly Honed Blade..

Billy..

Thank you Billy!! It will be a new skill set. Should be fun. What stone do you like for that?

A Lea Day today- and my Blingy Mongoose B3. Not sure that I am a fan of highly polished Razors, they seem to provide extra glide speed over the surface, but might not be that good at eliminating fine stubble. Just the way my
face felt after what seemed a great Shave.

Bird, I’m looking forward to your impressions on this razor. Keep the posts coming!

I picked up a Kampfe lather catcher last year that’s an 1896-98 model (have to go back and check). It came with two wedge blades, but I never got around to using it. I might try honing those wedge blades this weekend and I’ll give it a whirl. These posts are definitely encouraging me.

A year and never tried.. That is badddd.

I’m so ashamed!

This was my 1st shave with the P30s, sweet 2 pass BBS. My wife even commented that my face was the smoothest she'd ever felt it!

Easy and efficient shave with the G-Bar this morning. Really like this razor and it easily outperforms my Pushbutton and Featherweight. Nice results. Have a great day!

Perry, I know I’ve said it before, but I also like the G-bar and I could use it every day and be content. It’s really a great razor.

These blades are really flying out the door! I'm getting ready to put in another order with my supplier!

Any possibility of getting in the Japanese Twin blades? I'd love to find a less expensive source than the couple of eBay sellers who have them.

I can look into it, doesn't hurt to ask.

Also, what about the Proline Artist Club blades? I'm interested in trying those as well for my Black Hawk. No worries if you can't get them or don't want to fool with it.

I'm sure my supplier has those. I can throw in a magazine or two on my order.

I'll buy a magazine when those come in!
