It is a joy to use. I was worried that such a large razor would be awkward but I find the weight and size make it easy to control, just let the razor do the work. The more I use smiling razors the more I like them.

It also takes a nice edge.

 

Thanks Keith. I agree about smiling razors.

 

A Dubl Duck sort of morning...

 

+1 on smiling razors

 

Today's shave was with a restored razor I use rarely. Happy Halloween!!!. I had a fantastically smooth and Very noisy 2 pass shave. This left me BDBS. This is one fantastic razor, that delivers a flawless shave. Well made and I like the look. Get one if the opportunity arises.

Razor- Beau Brummel 35
Brush- B400, By Tom
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good.

 

The Arkie and my Germans sure do get along. I don't use this razor often and today's shave made me question why not.

A little tugging with this one tonight. Back to the hones.

 

How many shaves did you get out of it before you decided to take it back to the stones? Have you tried 5-10 laps with Chromium Oxide yet??

 

I’ve done the pasted strop and barbers hone. I can get a close shave, just not that buttery smooth pass. I’m thinking about going back to the 4K and progress from there. For whatever reason; my US made razors tend to give me a little more trouble than my Japanese or Germans.

 

6/8 SSA I had several days of growth.So I actually started with an English Wedge .But I felt the Wedge need a refresh.So plan B .Pulled out my 6/8 SSA .Swedish steel does not disappoint .Removed whiskers like a hot knife cutting butter .
