Had trouble with my internet connection most of last week, so I didn't post up my SOTD's.

The Permasharp/Firebar Fred Razor combo was just the tiniest bit rough today, probably because I have used the Lord L6 for so long, that I need to make a small adjustment to my technique to better suit the razor.

All in all, 4 Blades!

 

I am very pleased to read that, Jeff
As far as i know the "Golf" razor was built in the early fifties in the former GDR, i have never seen it before.
