And cool stamp on reverse:

Best Elektrik Silver Steel!
Enjoy your shave.

Are you going back in a time machine to buy these razors? It looks factory fresh.

 

Now that the edge is tuned in it shaved nicely but it is going to take some time to get used to the extreme smiley. It make some parts easier and some more difficult.

 

Finished off a tin of soap for first time today! This Martinez Blade is so nice too!

Thanks Keith. My time machine is fueled by Flitz and microfiber. I have the sometimes misguided belief that if the hone wear is good, I can fix the rest... doesn’t always work .

Zenith boar 26mm x 57mm

Excellent shave this morning. This is a great shaving razor for me. I have to say this Zenith has me thinking of other brushes besides Omega and I'm a big Omega fan. Very nice performing brush. I ordered a Mondial boar which according to the specs is 1mm less in diameter and either the same loft or 1mm longer than the Thater boar depending where you read the specs, looking forward to playing around with that when it arrives. Have a good one.

 

Nice shaver you got there, Oscar! Even a thumb notch.

 

Today's shave was with a trusty razor, made by ERN. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, with minor touch-ups, that left me BBS. Excellent razor and Brush, by @Jayaruh .

Razor- "Gong Razor" by ERN. Extra Hollow Ground.
Brush- JR #262. Made of Birds Eye Maple and Ebony wood. Silvertip Badger.

My Martinez has become my favorite razor. Mine has held its edge longer than any other razor I own.
