Oh, I don't think I've seen your Soviet razor, I'm intrigued now ๐Ÿ™‚

The Barbarossa is an interesting animal. Just feels like it should be a good idea, IMO

I'll make a photo later tonight of my rocket razor from the CCCP.

The Barbarossa is probably a good idea, I just need to get used to its size - it feels nothing in the hand like a regular straight, or even a shavette ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Thanks!

Have you ever used a Kamisori? It has a similar edge length as a Barbarossa (albeit a very different geometry)

I have a kamisori style shavette, but I 've never tried the real thing ๐Ÿ˜‚
