Fellas, I live in a spot called Port Stephens on Australia's east coast, 200 k' north of Sydney. It takes three days to get something from Sydney to here. I admit though, I have bought things from...

Thanks Speedster, we have the same taste in stones as razors! I also use the identical progression as you, except I don't own an Esther. But either the Gok 20 or my Ozuku could fill in. I'm at my...

I'm the same, love my shoulderless thumb notches. My staple razor is a 6/8 Dovo Bismark (2), four TI 7/8 shoulderless, an old Grenadille, that was stainless, it also had no shoulder, and just a...

I just found a Dovo 'Flowing' 6/8 Grenadille carbon steel, thumb notch on special at an Australian retailer. He charged $274.00 AUD, which for you US guys is round $200, which is a nice price. Free...

About the HAD, I'm suffering an allergic reaction to letters from the bank, I know the postman is coming soon, and that statement is going to have my recent jnat purchases in it. I say it because I...

My S&W model 36, never left home without it. (in days gone by)

I just placed an order for a new Japanese natural stone. To preface this, I should say I have two other jnats, an Ozuku Asagi and a Wakasa. I have looked around considering Shoubu-dani stones from a...

Finally pulled the trigger on the Japanese natural stones. I bought an Ozuku asagi 3lb 10 oz. 212 x 78 x 28 (of course not totally uniform. But looks to be a great stone shape wise). I looked...
