Repeat performance for the Leader today. My Castle Forbes shave cream and after shave balm are reaching the end of life. I may have to start using it more to clear out some space. And I do love that scent. The after shave balm is fantastic 👍🏻...

This unusual razor came with the CVH in my last shave. It’s smaller, midi-sized, and a near wedge to quarter hollow grind. It shaves with a very solid and smooth feel. I could not find out much about KIFA but I’m guessing it was for export since...
I am not 100% sure but I think that this is a JA Hellberg razor and that KIFA like Jernbolaget was wholesalers that bought knives and sold them in their own names
