Blood and Mayhem

So far, (top down) there is my Grandfather's Crown & Sword (circa 1900), the Boker King Cutter and the GD 208.

Doing better.  These suckers are sharp.  There is always a new place to find to nick myself...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Nice razors, the C&S and the King Cutter are among the best vintage razors I've used. Also, having a family tie to one of them makes it even more special....irreplaceable, really.

I've also been a fan of the GD's. They work pretty well, within their limitations. I've always been able to make them work well for me.

Good luck with the shaving, I hope you enjoy the process of learning how to use them.

Very nice! Welcome to the addiction!

I had a GD 300 I received in a trade here a while back. That razor gave me some great shaves, and the edge was my benchmark for a long time when I was first learning how to hone.

[edit]I've never shaved with either of the other 2 brands, but both look to be in pretty great shape, so very well done!

Go slow and go steady, and trust yourself, you'll be fine.
The GD are not bad.
