    Very nice. Is that an older Koraat? I haven't seen that shaped one before.

    Yes, it must be. I bought it used from someone years ago. I looked it up on the Koraat website and couldn't find it either. I have thought of selling for years but after yesterday's shave realized what a great straight it is, other than being heavy. I had to be very careful and still got a nick.

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #426 Synthetic
    Russian Rocket 5/8
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger After Shave

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian Rocket 5/8 Straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
