How To Use a Straight Razor, SOTD Thiers-Issard Le Grelot 6/8" NOS

In this SOTD video I used my NOS Thiers-Issard 6/8" straight razor which has a blade made from a vintage Le Grelot carbon steel blank. These straight razors are very hard to come by now and I was lucky I grabbed one when I did six years ago. It has never been used until I opened it for this SOTD. It's a 1/4 hallow so it doesn't sing like a full hollow blade. It shaved exceptionally well after I was able to do quick touch up on my Les Latneuses Belgian Coticule.
