I don't know what it's called in English, but it's amazing. I shave with this everywhere except downstairs. I need apply NO pressure whatsoever thanks to its own weight and thanks to the sharpness of these Japanese blades. I love it. :3 ⚔️🎌

Edit: you obviously don't have to present your equipment on your hands like a psychopath. 🤣

All time favs:

1912 Single Edge Ever Ready

1940's Double Edge Style Gillette Superspeed

Solingen 6/8th hollow grind vintage straight & a hefty old Sheffield wedge-ish

I would like a kamisori one day but haven't bought any shaving gear in maybe a decade or so now.

I think yours is a Merkur 510c double edge safety raxor, not a model I've used but Merkur's are awesome and I think I have DE Merkur head somewhere.

    Damn! You really know your razors! :D

    It's the shorter one, the 500, although, for some reason, I'm seeing the model name as "Progress". Apparently it has been around since the 1950's!
