It's nice to know that like the other days shave I can achieve a really good shave with the Bunny even in a rush. However it's even better when like today I can take my time and enjoy it and get an excellent shave.
Last night. Razor: New to me - Darwin SE safety razor. Brush: Re knotted Rubber set handle. Soap: Vitos Red. This vintage razor set is amazing quality. I don't know if there is any connection to the double edge Darwin. The case has a spare blade, double sided strop and an ingenious stropping mechanism. I was initially concerned the blades could be rusty. [The listing images were 50/50] but on arrival and introduction to my hones the edge is wonderful. Despite the word "safety" on the container it is a straight razor on a stick.
