    Superb 2 passer, minor touch ups, minimal weeper cleared with cold water and Alum

    Thankfully these sharp blades cut the stubble as intended rather than tug them out. Any hint of tugging and they know what to expect!

    Another fun and pleasurable shave!

    Have a great day everyone

    A very fine shave with my heirloom straight from my grandpa Val. Amazing to think it’s been in use in the same family for probably 75 years or so. Lots of satisfying Velcro ripping feedback and smooth results. Just a great all-around shave :happy036:
