Thread: Finding Gold .......

............................ In your own shave drawer. Some will know this experience. To others I'd say dig deep.

Preparing to shave this morning I was rummaging through the razor pile when my eye spotted something familiar yet new. I pulled it out and wow! The only Sheffield blade I own. A Marples Beehive 13/16 half hollow surgical steel. Haven't seen this one for almost 2 years. Removed it from it's sheath and I swear it winked at me. Well hello again my old friend. It's been a long time.
The die was cast ......

First few strokes a little tentative until memory kicked in and balance was restored. At that point it was pure and clean. Like I never set it down. What a wonderful shave. It always had a very keen edge. This one is solidly back in rotation. Can't even remember how it fell out but that's all history.
