Hahaha - it was a surprise Buy It Now find on eBay some years ago. Super reasonable price and I jumped on it. Easy enough to handle, believe it or not, but not sure I’d want to go bigger. I remember someone had a 14/8 on The Shave Den that showed up now and then. Now that was a real butcher shop knife 🙂
 
I have two heirloom razors from my grandpa Val. However, I haven’t used this one since shortly after I started shaving with straights years ago. It just didn’t seem to shave right. Realizing that may have been from inexperience I picked it up today. While the first pass felt a little rough it might just need a tune-up. No mishaps, no blood, and a smooth result at the end. Thanks Grandpa! :)

There’s a real, dark underworld theme coming through there somehow. Great shot.

I’m not sure if Southern Witchcraft is still doing their thing, but I enjoy the dark twist they put on their scents. Tried to darken the pic a bit to capture that. 💀
