V11 The Black knight, Trafford brand from my personal razor collection. 

Yeah, a very handsome razor. Pity about the black coming off over time, but the Gold and red wash still remain and still scary sharp but very forgiving if applied gently, Bentley.

Yeah me too, love the Gold wash on razors and deeply scalloped spines too. Once my razors are sharp, i add them to my rotation and it could be a month before i use them again. But before i do use them again, i refresh the blade on my double sided paddle strop lined with felt. One side with Chrome Oxide and the other side with an ultra fine 0.25 diamond paste. 50 laps on each side is enough, then 40 laps on the canvas side of a leather strop and 70 laps on the leather side gives a scary sharp edge. After shaving, i immediately strop the blade to get rid of any unseen moisture. This keeps all my blades in tip top condition. Looking forward to some time at Lake Bled, beautiful place to stay for a few days overlooking the Lake.
