    I have just like you said preferred wider blades until I have managed to get my narrow razors sharp. Now I am a little bit unsure what I like most. My CVH MK No.24 3/8” is remarkable nice little piece of razor. Sharp as h**l and shaves ohh so smooth.

    I'm sure sharpness is the real factor. I do have a certain Joseph Rodgers with ivory scales that has a very narrow profile which I had relegated to display because I didn't want to risk damaging the scales and because it is so skinny, but now that I'm getting more confident at honing, I may just give it a go...

    But I don’t think he’s restoring razor production so you really have to question his priorities :happy097:

    Thanks! A little bit of Ivory . Not the most political correct choice perhaps.... but considering that it is at least 90-100 years old then it is OK.

    13/16 Coral, cream was AoS Ocean Kelp lathered with. Simpsons 58. A little SMN balm paired well and topped off a BDBS shave.
