Yesterday, I had broken up the ring of death to cover the bottom of the tub, and today’s load already broke through it again. This thing is racing to its conclusion.
I added a talc step to the routine and thoroughly enjoyed it. I should just do it by default, it’s always a plus.
The big Koraat is fun. The blade is great, but unlike most straight razors, the tang, the spine and the tail have been left raw. Love it.

I think it adds some awesome character Maybe, but I am not a fan of this sort of character – I like the shiny and polished stuff (probably because contrary to other humans, who descend from apes, I descend from magpies).

You might be on to something!

I agree. I think the Piggy Bank razors are real gems.

There’s no doubt. I am really surprised not to see more of these Sparschweinchen around. Ulrik does terrific work.
I feel that way too, and feel a little vain to admit it, but, there it is.

I suspect the marketing as a budget razor might not have been the best.
gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 7 months ago
You’re probably right, but, Koraat quality steel and machining at a budget price? What’s not to love?
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 7 months ago
No idea, that’s why I have one 😅
