~ 1 week's growth

shower
Plisson HMW 12
Tabac ss
Vintage Clydesdale strop
Butcher Bros spike
Heljestrand MK 10
Alum
Coral SF

Great shave - no cuts / irritation.

Razors cut well, but I got the impression the growth was a bit much for them to slide effortlessly. I guess a bigger and heavier blade would have been more appropriate (but I wanted to test-shave with these). They did well ATG / XTG after I reduced / eliminated the growth in the first pass.

Cheers
Ivo

ps I forgot I had a Joe Chandler-honed great shaver to test and could compare with these two - how unfortunate
