My new Cadet Model 11 – Open Comb, Twist To Open – has arrived! Shiny, hefty and looking better than the pictures, I’m looking forward to giving it a test drive next week.
As you can see from the photos, Joe at Shave A Buck also sent me a sleeve of blades – blades that are previously unknown to me. Looking forward to taking those for a spin too.
