This razor is unbelievable. I’ve never tried a frameback before and was skeptical as to how it would perform but this is hands down the best razor I have which (to be fair is not that many) delivers the smoothest shave without any effort. I am a very happy chappy and still quite spellbound by this blade. I’m getting rid of all the others I have and am on the hunt for Swedish steel! I too really enjoy this thread, thank you max! Did you have sushi (chopsticks beneath your kamisori) before your midnight shave?

Oh, GORGEOUS!!

Did those scales come with the razor, or are they your work? Because, for a razor branded "Phoenix", those are the perfect scales for it... Very fiery, and just beautiful!

Cheers,
Jeremy
