Probably not the best idea to break out this Frameback on four days of stubble. I never cared much for this razor but it improved after some care at the Gemstar Idaho razor resort. Still a little tuggy on the first pass. Maybe it’s a technique thing :unsure:

I’ve noticed at least three manufacturers who branded what appears to be the same blade as this with the same “The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor.” Even the script for the words, “The Celebrated” match. Does anyone have any background on this - e.g. are some of them private labeled or were copyright laws just that much more relaxed or…?
 
Absolutely lovely shave with my heirloom razor from Grandpa Val :)

Hot water preparation
MSC Frosted Lavender Shave Soap

It definitely seems to be a common slogan… and not in just one part of the world.
