Here are the BESS scores for the vintage razor with links to videos:
BESS 17 yesterday, I did not test today before I started shaving.
BESS 41 after shaving 50% of the face, I chickened out and finished with a DE safety razor
(video: vintage after shave )
BESS 33 after stropping 5 times each side on Kanayama Cordovan Strop (Video: vintage after stop )
BESS 19 after stropping 10 times each side on balsa with 0.5 micron chromium oxide and finally finished on a Kanayama Cordovan Strop 5 times each side. (Video: final stropping )
Please be advised that this is only my trial and error (or trial and success) for this razor and might or might not work for other razors.
Cheers
