Shake Sharp v2, without the benefit of the stabilizing shim I use with the Bakelite v1, is a very aggressive (and noisy) razor, extremely efficient as well, so much so I almost folded the head shave after one ATG pass. Not one to waste lather, dolphin smooth after two.

SOTD: Vintage stubtail razor from William Greaves & Sons (c.1830s), Mitchell's Wool Fat soap, Jayaruh custom 24mm synthetic, and Musgo Real No. 3 "Spiced Citrus." The heavy 'rattler' grind on this razor combined with the long, smiling & keenly sharp edge make for a unique shaving experience. I enjoyed every minute of it. Have a blessed Tuesday, gents!

Does Billy Greaves do razors only?

 

You must have a solid collection of Stoylins

Brace up Florida residents, Irma is imminent. Never too soon to prepare those bug out bags, fill the gas tanks, and gather photo albums. Stay Strong South Coast!

 

Besides straight razors, like many of his Sheffield contemporaries, Wm. Greaves & Sons also produced a broad range of knifes and cutlery.
