I have quite the nice collection of straight razor and I always try to go for a natural type of scale like abalone, horn or wood. I am no expert but the olive wood is by far my favorite... so light and easy to handle. Of course the blade honed shave ready by Phil is just perfect has always... A real delight and thank you guys for another great piece added to my collection of Böker
These blades were just the right balance of close and smooth, with not too much nicking or irritation for me! After trying almost every shaving blade brand from this store, these ones were my favourite! But as always, no blades are universally good or bad.
