Have a good one.

My buddy was asking me to keep a look out for one of these razors in his birth quarter (B2, 2nd quarter of 1981). This one was made in my birth quarter. Sort of fun, but not my favorite shaver :-)

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This was a test shave for the two razors described above. They both have a Karasu Jnat edge. This stone generates a distinctive feel, and I thought both razors exhibited it very well. This was my first use of Haku Darktide, Sean's first aquatic. This is distinctive and very well done in my opinion.
