One pass and touchups with the C-MON Cadillac. Could have done more but I was a little gun-shy from the last shave. End results are still passable for today.

Tonights shave was with a wonderfully shaving Japanese blade. It was a smooth two pass shave. No Cuts, nicks, or weepers. Just smooth results.

Razor- Japanese "Derby 1000"

Happy shaving - Karl

 

Tonights shave was with an old cast steel blade, with what appears to be Tortoise Scales. The blade is a "Near Wedge", which I'm not to fond of, or I'm just not use to.
It was a very comfortable two pass shave, that required an almost flat angle. Very smooth results, without any cut, nicks, or weepers.

Razor- "Highly Popular Kohinoor"

 

Prior to this morning, I last used this old Wm Greaves & Sons (1830s) stub tail back a few weeks ago on Thanksgiving morn. I have to admit that I really enjoy using this razor and need to 'mix it' into the rotation more frequently.
Good weight and balance; smooth, keen and LONG blade edge with slight smile; quite comfy to hold. Great old shaver....
