The razor has been honed from bevel set (without tape) to my standard of shave-ready. The edge has been finished on diamond pasted balsa to 0.1µm (about 200k grit).
Rules:
1. This PIF is open to P&C members worldwide.
2. You must have been a member of P&C on 08 November 2024.
5. The winner is to pay postage within 72 hours of winning (see postal rates below).
4. This PIF remains open until won.
How To Enter:
This PIF requires some skilful guessing. I have thought of a number between 1 and 20 inclusive. You need to guess that number (a whole number and it is not 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18 or 20 that won previous PIFs). You are allowed multiple guesses. If you are new to traditional straight razor shaving, your guesses must be at least 6 hours apart. If not new, your guess must be at least 24 hours apart. To win this PIF, just post "I'm in" with your guess of the number. [e.g., I'm in 14 or I'm in 14 new]. First to guess the correct number will win.
If you find that this SR is not for you, all I ask is that you return the razor to me. I will then refresh the blade's edge and PIF it to another member.
