Eventually a BSS WTG with some discomfort, but to be expected from coaxing a 70 ish year old blade into life and yes I did have the mildest setting, the name’s hunt not c@#t.
* I got this razor from eBay in an unused condition the strop was so dry it looked like and felt like a thin strip of cardboard but not cracked or damaged, it’s a strip of pig skin, it has been saved and now is a fully working strop.
The shave was only to test out the blade restoration but I decided to try a shave, frequent re stropping sessions revealed a sharp blade not 100% yet, but getting there.
Me personally I’m jinxed in the way of owning a “ I’ll get that just incase we have a nuke war, and at least I’ll be able to have a shave!!” Yes and unfortunately you twat! your probably going to be dead within a few seconds after the first strike! Sorry what? your going to hide under the kitchen table and will be totally safe, Ok, you do that.
On the upside if you are lucky enough to be safely tucked away in a nuke proof bunker I can see the benefits of owning such a razor for extremities, coz your not going to pop out to the shop an buy a pack of blades any time soon, and it sure beats shoving a pencil up a rats asshole and using that to chew off the beard
Enjoy your day Gentlemen.
