Couldn't get a decent picture today of my set up so just a pic of the razor (that someone else took). Getting real tired of my useless camera.....

I just finally had my first shave with my Thiers Issard #69 frameback (same as pictured above), purchased it off the classifieds here a while ago, recently got it back from being honed and cleaned up, only change it needed was a new wedge.
Anyhow, was just blown away at what an absolutely great shave this razor gave. Easily controlled, very nice, almost effortless DFS using Proraso Red, just meant to have a quick cleanup shave and figured I'd give it a go.
Just goes to show, you never know when a real winner will emerge....
