Very nice.The Big Shave 11th November 2017
Todays big shave I am mixing it up a little. I have been using wedges and near wedges for a while BUT about a month ago I bought a beautiful 11/16†Custom Bellied Full Hollow from Victor Creazzi - his website details are included in the video and below. Victor's razor was so sharp and comfortable that I did a 4-pass shave. ZERO razor burn - just wonderful.
Victor's blades can be found at http://www.bluesmanblades.com
BTW De Vergulde Hand in Dutch translates to The Gilded Hand

Result - lovely. Everything a shave should be and nothing it shouldn't.
This razor has quickly become one of my favourites. I'd got the impression that - and indeed been directly warned by the seller - it could be a little 'feisty.' This has not been my experience of it. I have never felt concerned using it. It's heavy - so let gravity and the blade do their thing. I'm used to using a Cobra so maybe that's a factor - now, the old model R41 - there was a razor that scared me. I have brushes of different types - badger, horse, boar and mixed - at widely differing price points but I think I will always keep a 1305 in rotation. Mine is now properly broken in - split tips aplenty - took a while. It's as effective and enjoyable in use as brushes that cost me well over a £100 more. The Extro Tabacco and the Creed work well together for me. Where one scent leaves off the other picks up. Enjoy your shaves gentlemen - cheers - I.
Thank you!!Beautiful razor.
