Hi guys

So, after an interesting day at the vintage shop, I found some goods at a decent price I couldn't do without. Seeing as how I was also meeting one of our SRP members last night, I just had to

Upon meeting Prahston and getting my first *solid* introduction and hands-on experience with some great equipment, technique and information, we dug into these pieces and cleaned them up, honed them up and stropped them to some wicked results.

1) A now-shortened Henry Sears and Sons "Queen 1/2," dated 1865, which I cut down to compensate for a pretty chipped toe.

2) Geo Wostenholm and Sons Celebrated LXL Razor (Sheffield, England). Seems about a 5/8.

3) Joseph Allen and Sons NON XLL Medium Size Hollow Ground (Sheffield, England). Seems somewhere between 6/8 and 7/8. Heavy!

4) Carl Rader Round Point 5/8 (#234), Solingen Germany. Personally, I love the Mother of Pearl-like scales!

A huuuuuuge thank you to Prahston for taking the time and effort to show me the ropes. The razors performed beautifully, in particular the Joseph Allen. His honing is top notch and gave one hell of a silky smooth shave today.
