Inspired by the acquisitive prowess of our @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social, I also helped myself to a new straight razor. It arrived today: an Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (Russian Bear), which is a 7/8th full hollow carbon steel razor with a barber’s notch, and scales made out of black horn. The razor came with leather sleave, and the packaging looks very classy.

First impressions: shave-ready as announced, and gives a good shave. It is not as massive as the Koraat, but still well-sized.
