Those are beautiful. Looks like an abbreviated cutting area, true or not?

Believe it or not, they look more difficult to shave and hone than they really are; the technique required is slightly different the more pronounced the curve is, you need to move the edge in a smooth, curving motion which will come natrually once you apply the razor to your face, and the heel and toe area can be used in the same way as all other straight razors for more detailed work.

If we were playing Connections, how are these two connected? Both use the Artist Club blades.

Are they both razors? (Yellow)
No are they both Feather? Hmm ... ( Green)
They both have replaceable blades? (Blue)
Objects designed to be used by the left and right hand? ( Pink)

I'd need to know if the non shavette is Feather though...

A lovely bit of Sunday sink time earlier today. I completed my 2 pass shave routine for a DFS finish.
I may need to give this razor a refresh as i did get quite a bit indication from the splash even though it felt OK during the shave, then again it could have been my stubble prep?
Enjoy your day all.
