Well no not really, but the really good thing is that if I ever was to advice anyone on what vintage razor I'd recommend for the 41 first shaves this razor would be it. For a new razor I'd recommend an Aust.

Arne, she's treated me very well and been a very good teacher. She held an edge well, especially in the first few weeks, despite my inept technique (both on face and on leather). Swedish steel has a reputation for being tough and slow to hone, but I find this CVH takes an edge refresh without much trouble at all. Hard to imagine a better "first razor" for me.

Whoa! That razor looks awesome!
As usual, your selection in razors is top shelf. Thank you for sharing!!
You obviously rescaled that Revisor. Those pins are so perfect they have to be your work.
Just off a fresh honing.

Revisor was today's pick
Couldn't think of a better Thanksgiving shave than a family heirloom American razor.

Thank you, yes I did rescale this one. I love the blade but the wood scales it came with were too big and cumbersome.
In honor of the pilgrims...
Yes, perfect! I love how thin they are.
