Just lovin' the looks I've been getting after unwrapping the NOS wapii that was delivered to work today thanks to stamps222 :D
Looks good but will definitely need some honing.

I can't wait to do the NWT job. My coworkers will finally see my razors in action :D
Sorry for being a dimwit but you'll have to enlighten me as to the meaning of NWT

North-West Territories.
Thanks BW. I will be going for another job there in a little under 2 weeks. This time around, instead of a bush camp, we will have a lodge, so it'll definitely be more comfortable, especially with short work-days at this time of the year.
It sounds better with a Crocodile Dundee accent!Quote:

First impression was that it seemed to glide through my stubble quite nicely, but after the shave my face felt a little more tender than with my Dovo or my other e-bay special so I guess I need to work on it some more.
I really like the French point on it, but I think that lighter scales would be better and I'm seriously coming to the conclusion that I like the larger blade size ... my Chinese e-bay special (a 6/8), while still not as sharp as the Dovo, "feels" better on my face. FiReSTaRT I love the look of your custom blade from Joe - I'm thinking I'd really like something like that. This last nine months or so I've been exclusively using a straight and it is such a relaxing way to start the day I don't see myself ever going back to a DE so one of these days I might treat myself.

Barney, you won't go wrong if you get a blade from Joe. The only problem is deciding how you want it, especially now that he also includes carbon steel :eek:
