    Have you tried a str8? Maybe your opinion will change:). I would wager all of us left carts behind for better shaves.

    Today's shave was "Perfection". I had a wonderful 2 pass shave, that left me BBS, with very minor touch-ups. Zero issues, with this well balanced razor. Sometimes it's the lesser known blades that are some of the best.

    Razor- "Perfection Warranted", by Swank H.W.Co. Warranted.
    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood.
    Aftershave- Florida Water

    RyX DoH!

    That's a beautiful Hussy Karl! Most Type H's I've seen are much worse for wear. The cap plating didn't weather well.
