 I’m kicking off decadent December w/ what’s turned out to be my favorite razor in my collection. My Jones Shake Sharp Model 1.0. Stacking the razor with two blades resulted in a smooth and effortless dome and face shave. Although the razor looks like a Gem style hoe design, it actually takes a DE blade. The razor was developed at the end of the carbon steel blade era and has a built-in hone which allowed the user to ‘shake sharpen’ his or her dulling carbon blade. In any case, this wonderful kickoff shave has left me smooth, clean and refreshed! Let’s hear it for decadent December!
