Cold water splash

Im gonna try an old open tooth razor tomorrow that I traded with el slicko blakeo (he got it from James_uk), for some very special 'open tooth conversion blades' he said he wouldn't need it anymore if these blades convert his regular iron

Re: SOTD Man with Astra Blades

Used the above razor last night with an Astra blade and Arko soap,,dissappointed with result, no nicks but just a bit sore afterwards and not a very close finish. I have used this blade (not the same blade)in the ss flaretip with good results but not in this open comb. Just goes to show that different blades may work better in different irons

back to a 7o'clock tonight :shave
