What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Karl G said:
This unusual razor came with the CVH in my last shave. It’s smaller, midi-sized, and a near wedge to quarter hollow grind. It shaves with a very solid and smooth feel. I could not find out much about KIFA but I’m guessing it was for export since it is stamped Sweden. Very nice razor with a superb edge courtesy of Glen Mercurio at Gemstar Customs. :)

Hot water preparation
MSC Black Tie Shave Soap
Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip Badger
KIFA 4/8
Cold water rinse
Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel

I am not 100% sure but I think that this is a JA Hellberg razor and that KIFA like Jernbolaget was wholesalers that bought knives and sold them in their own names
