hi folks looking for a smaller razor, I have regular size one but find near the front section
I saw one on line Northcutt but not sure how good it is?

Any one have experience with that let me know
Thanks in advance

From the silence I gather this isn't a popular razor ? :)

Took a chance on one, arrived today, it's small but I think it will work pretty good, almost easier to use it with the handle straight out, like one of those fixed blade Japanese style razors since it is quite small. Some jimping would help as it's smooth spine. Fit and finish look pretty good and I'd say it was shave ready as they said it would be.

Well, I take back that shave ready comment, this needed some honing and I'm trying but will be a challenge, honing a razor is a good deal different than sharpening a knife, think of it as if you were trying to sharpen a leaf from a tree, light touch is needed for this, I'm gaining ;)

And helpful you are, appreciate that tip and link as well, but my straight razor shaving I think is coming to the end of the chapter for me. With our new house, still settling in, and 'stuff' with family going, my attention span is frightfully small at the moment.

Ah the hidden blessings of growing old ;)
