    Default Graduation

    Hello everyone. Thought it was time to make a second introduction. After about 1 1/2 years of using a shavette, i have purchased two real straight razors, both vinage restored. I now have a palmer 21 and a Nos quality clauss shear razor. I have not used the clauss yet but after two shaves with the palmer, it shaves great! No regrets on leaving the shavette, but i think it taught me alot. I have found that the palmer is much easier to use than the shavette ever was. Thanks for all the usefull info i have gleaned from this site!

    I have two Palmer 21 blades and they are good shavers.

    Congrats on great shaves!

    I have seen a clauss with black scales like that one stamped USMC. I guess clauss did supply razors for the military in the WW 1 era. I grew up about ten miles from fremont, oh so it made me even more interested in clauss shear.

    Congrats on taking the next step! Hope the shaves continue to improve.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
