    October 5, 2023: The End of War, Beginning of the Pig


    Here come my first impressions from the Koraat Sparschweinchen: the edge on this razor is way better than the one on my own razors; this gives me something to strive for. Congratulations to @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social! The shave was very nice and comfortable; I avoided mutilation with the pointy end.

    The Sparschweinchen smiles more than I had thought from seeing the photos, and I am not really used to shaving with a smiling blade. It was no problem though, even if I was tempted to apply pressure to get more surface area where the blade touches the skin. The Koraat feels considerably heavier than the Tiers-Issard or the Parker razor (I didn’t weigh them, but it’s noticeable) – but the balance is very good, and it’s not that my arm felt exhausted after the shave or anything. I don’t know whether this is because the steel is heavier, or if there is simply more of it on the razor.

    On the lather front, once again, I got a luxurious lather with a good boom-shakalaka. I tried to tell myself a dad joke at the beginning, but I the volume was off, and I spoke so softly that I didn’t really understand.

    All in all, a very good first try of the Koraat!

    Have a good evening!

      Yayy! I’m still nervous when people shave with an edge of mine: "what if my honing skills are shit, how would I know?"😂

      That’s probably the thick Sheffield-style grind. It’s just not as hollow as your TI

      Glad to hear it. Enjoy the Schweinchen! 🍻

          But thanks, I appreciate it!
