One Pass - WTG

After yesterday's very close shave with a Heljestrand wedge in a very early 1900s Wilkinson Sword, I needed just the one pass to polish up today.

Another very successful shave with this curious Bigelow & Parkin razor. Technique-wise, I'm finding my thumb and middle finger at either end to be a better fit than thumb and index finger. Just a word to the wise for those taking note ...

Third and final run with the 'Knuckle Duster' and this blade. Sterling performance from both.

The intuitiveness and freedom of movement, even super-sensitive feedback from the razor makes for truly excellent shaves throughout.

Thank you Andreas for the opportunity to try this curious little razor.

Who's next? Let me have your address.
 
I did indeed! I think the true spirit of this razor is that very precise feedback you get as you shave - once you've had one go with it, your fingers take over and do such much more with it than a single handle. Very precise indeed!
 
Well, that was interesting.

Bugger me, for a nolvety type trinket it does narf shave well?! The OC feels sharp to the fingers but on the skin they're not an issue and soft and irritation free.

I like the odd and strange and I like this one!
