I was lusting after the new LeGrelot 1/4 grinds at Raurpur, but couldn't justify getting one, as I already have a 1/4 grind LeGrelot. So I installed a thumbnotch myself!

Tally Ho's are great shavers, I regret letting go of the couple I've sold.

She took a beautiful shine. Great job. Do you mind sharing what process you did to bring that out?

Yeah, I was pondering doing that, but decided to stick with a more "traditional" and simple flow.

Kool Kustomising & a big +1 for 'shiny non mirror finishes.' Guess I'm lazy too

Please don't tell me you put that notch in by hand sanding...I think that would border on self abuse... Originally Posted by Seraphim

It is a lovely shape, though...
