November 12, 2023: Ultimate Luxury Shave
My first try with the Koraat. First impression: this thing is yooge. It is also heavier than my other straights (even though I believe it's lighter than djundjila's piggy. It was a very comfortable shave, but I will need some time getting used to the size of the blade. Some minor weepers, and also a slightly irritated face (but this might also be caused by the fact that the lords of our building - after having us freeze for some time - decided that only well-cooked renters are good renters: 27 degrees Celsius!).

Have a good evening!
Beautiful razor(!) and congrats on your first use. I'll be interested to hear your impression of your smaller razors once you are comfortable with the size and performance of the 14-2.0. :)
Yeah, the 14s are quite something, aren't they? I'm looking forward to hear what you think when you've had time to get used to it 🙂
