Wonderful looking razor. Loaded with a GEM blue star carbon steel blade. Did wtg, atg x2, which is my normal routine these days. Tabac. Results;
BBS most everywhere. I will say that the blade felt very sharp and aggressive to me, but outside my comfort zone. More on the outskirts though. I was a little red in places after, but that is calming down quickly. No cuts. Used alum in place of AS. Hazel and balm to finish.
If the blade is a little milder on next use, i'll be a little happier, but a grate shave for sure. And a stunning looking piece. Comments sought :)
