EKS (Ewald Kron Solingen) is by far my favorite Solingen maker, I guess because Mr. Kron hasn’t been in business for very long (around 5 years in 1920’s maybe), but during this time managed to produce some lovely pieces and even export overseas. Each one ground to perfection, these are singing extra hollow. I am always on the lookout for these, and very happy to have acquired three more, around 7/8” each.

The Dark Lord of Wet Shaving
Many thanks. I deliberately didn't shave today as I knew it was coming. I'll try, tomorrow.
Just remember to shave in short stroke and may take a little while getting used to the R41, and the more you know how to drive it when shaving the top cap and you'll be master R41 shaver.
