    I had a wonderful shave just now with my Grandpa's old straight. This was always a decent razor but today I refreshed it with some others on some 1 micron lapping film and then some time on the Arkie. Wow! It just moved up into the top tier. The whiskers just fell and I am as smooth as can be. :happy036:

    Great shave with the W&B. Was good to go with two passes, but did a third just for the heck of it:)

    2 passes with my 5/8'' Wade, Wingfield & Robwotham. The razor might not look fancy, but it's actually a very decent shaver ;)

    It was another great shave out of my Morley and Sons "Damascus" razor. Three passes and I'm mostly BBS.
