    Recurve bow. If it has one string, no wheels and looks like a "D", it is a longbow. Same except with tips that curve back "like a Cupid bow", its a recurve bow.

    And, if I remember right, the recurve bow was invented by the Mongolians for power, accuracy and ease of use from horseback.

    #12 arrived in my mailbox Saturday, a nice present on the day I also passed my Journeyman's exam. So now I'm an electrician AND I have a great razor. Shaved with it yesterday, it was a real pleasure to shave with a smiling blade again. It's a nice heavy grind, and surprisingly talkative for as heavy as it is. My old Greaves & Sons wedge really muffles the whiskers, but this one transmits each one out as a distinct cut. Interesting, bright sound.

    I think the smile makes the edge little more aggressive than it would be as a straighter blade. I got a lot of weepers, which doesn't usually happen. My fault, not the blade's; I'll have to lower the angle a bit from where I run it on the chin. That's where the blade got most snacky.

    The hollows under my jaw hinges were sooo uneventful, thanks to the smile. Got right in there, where the straight profile always takes some extra attention. Very nice ATG passes under my chin, too, which is always the hardest test for a blade in my hands.

    Thanks to all who made this happen, to PapaBull who made it, and to MichaelC who designed it. Superb ergonomics, Michael!

    Hey Guys,

    Had a call from Robert this afternoon. He still has to hone the razor, but #15 is on its way.

    And I thought all my exuberance as a 7 year old on Christmas Eve was over!!

    Regards,
    Howard

    Same day here...
    Looks like 20 AUG was "open the floodgates day"....and RW ended up with several weeks worth of orders on the same day...
    Need to go talk to my RW Purist - let it know that its promised brother is on the way...and to be patient.
