    Default lE GRELOT 6/8 1/4 HOLLOW NOS

    I have got a pair of these from Martin at www.rasurpur.de.

    They came practically shave sharp, able to pop a hair but a few laps on my spyderco ultrafine hone improved this even more. I didn't have enough time to have my pre-shave shower this morning so it was a quick wash followed by Proraso pre-shave cream and then varilux white musk shaving cream and the shave that followed was astonishing. The beard just seemed to leap off my face. They have quite a bit of heft to them and feel much like a wedge because of it but the shave is a lot closer as the blades seem to follow the face better. All in all, a big thumbs up from me

    I would say if you are interested in these I would get one now, knowing that the guys at B&B are having a limited edition made using these blades. I found Martin excellent to deal with and would buy from him again.
    Sorry about the lack of pictures but I dont have a camera at the Moment.

    Come here as often as you like but do not upset the missus.

    I have a black handled one on the way. I probably would have gone for a B&B one but I don't really like the colour of the scales, if it had been snakewood etc I'd have grabbed one.

    But these ought to be just what I like, a nice stiff 6/8 should be lovely.

    Garry,
    I thought these would look awsome with blond horn scales and was tempted to order one. Do you mind my asking what the cost is in US Dollars shipped to the US?
    Thanks, Ken.
