I bought them new on e-bay. The seller had all three separately listed. Since the markings on the scales are all exactly the same, I knew they must be adopted as a set. Only two boxes, though. I'll eventually find another box.
I follow that seller. He has some very nice razors for sale. I have several in my watchlist, but I have to WHOAA! put the breaks on for a little bit here. I already gotten myself a little too caught up it this straight business.
Yeah, I was looking at a couple of his frameback japanese razors today. Hey - are you saying that just because I have 18 straights, approximately 1 for every 2 days I have used a straight, that I somehow have a problem? No wife, therefore, no problem.
No, I don't have a wife problem either, it is just that I try to keep it at a point where if I buy something I sell something. Or it has to be a well thought out purchase. I am well in the black on net items for the year, but between razors, some rocks and strops I owe myself some money. Or need to slow down for a while.
Andrew, My last 2 shaves have been shaving exactly that. I floated the razor over my face and was rewarded with no irritation. So use to having some pressure with electrics and cartridges that it is a hard habit to break. Also, what is light to one is heavy to another. Now I am more familiar with razor light. I think the blade plays into this as well. It is harder, to me, to be light when a blade is so smooth that you can barely feel it. Maybe the extra drag the Astra SS actually hep me to be lighter
Very good! Learning what no pressure actually was, along with riding the cap, has enabeled me to have a near flawless shave with any razor I happen to pick up.
