I remember looking up the Kanji, from the old thread:

"The information found out about the Tamahagane steel that made this razor was fascinating.

The sword was made in the 1600's by sword...

Great to see you brother...how's it hangin'??:rock:

Don't know about the Venza, it's AWD, but definitely has some drift to it when there's lots of snow.

Surprisingly, my 550i GT, NOT xDrive, AST though but rear wheel drive, is a ferkin' tank in the...

All Seasons rubber freezes below -7 C and just becomes one ice block driving on another ice block....great work, "menace"...should be law here like it is in Quebec.

So much snow here last week,...

Ouch...that's horrible...no one walking away from that except in multiple bags....people driving in the snow...they never learn.

4 x 4, AWD, none of it matters unless you've got snow tires on and...

That's any day ending in, "Y" during the winter here....just make sure you've got you snow tires on a yer good to go!! ;)

Really, been fun having the cars literally solid blocks of ice a few times this week.

Was coming back from the gym the other day, goosed it a little bit, and a solid sheet of ice left the top of...

Great to hear Mike, always fun being the new kid on the block, new kid at school...always found it a little stressful first couple of weeks.

But some ribs from the workplace, sounds...

Yea, that a gorgeous Henckel's Tom, really a beautiful job...man, looks brand new.

They are one of my favourite blades without a doubt...Sheffield steel and a field of #14's and I'm good to...

Yes, superb razor, and Wolfpack did a restore on one of those for me that was unbelievable...from a rust infested, badly aged blade to pristine.

Wow - that looks awesome, beautiful razor, one that is on my list, love the Thiers inspired scales design, that is one beautiful looking razor, and will be a stellar shave.....:D

Hey - I've got some time on my hands...can you hook me up with some acid as well....:rock:

Yummy...now that is a serious piece of razor history, now that is a smokin' Greaves...great stamp and looks in great shape...;)

Wow, don't have a lathe like that, but do have some Mothers and the exact same Walleyman brush.

MikeB52 dropped a Shavemac D01-2 band knot in it to replace the knot supplied, it's an amazing...

Definitely wasn't made that way, toe was broken off and someone did some clean up on it.

In terms of age, there's a chart somewhere from Boker with the dates around the "Tree" stamp on the tang....

You call that a Jacob's Ladder?

Got this one in my back yard, got it from Amazon Prime for $7.99 with free next day shipping....

And great Popcorn too!!!!

I tried to use a bit of mustard (i.e., vinegar) to darken the etch, no joy, but ended up with an almost Evapo Rust type "burn" in a circle around the etch on that W&B FBU, it will fade slowly, but...

Yup, some serious flooding down here at The Beach as well, right at the lake, cars up to their bumpers in water, thank Gawd I'm up a bit North up a long incline...Advil first, bourbon later....or,...

Looks like the classic TI #69 frame back...beautiful razor, and one of my all time favourites blades.

Thanks guys, just looking I think to get the straight sanding lines down the face of the blade to provide some uniformity...the spit is almost gone, so thinking "straight lining" it will achieve the...

Thanks Mike, so maybe some 180 then 400...the remaining stain on the blade just doesn't do it for me, especially after seeing some of the finishes on here, and also, using that W&B Rattler you put...
