    A freshly restored, freshly honed 15/16 Carl Rader 35. One of the few Spanish points in the quiver, and I really like that look.

    It is a super thin blade, which I normally do not like, but the shave was way better than anticipated.

    One of a pair of Heljestrand 6/8 Mk133, soap was SMN lathered with a big Simpsons 59. A splash of Pink finished things up, BBS of course.

    Cheers, Steve

    While I prefer modern and artisan razors I do enjoy vintage razors too. This is my favorite vintage razor in my den, a George Wostenholm 7/8 near wedge with some very cool scales.
