The Day? <71ºF /22ºC Partly sunny and Breezy.( Warmest day since last November. The Shave,? Lord luvaduck..the Brits came up with a shaver that makes the Rolls combination a piker. The combo, after a learning curve to use its double hollow ground blade properly, is close and smooth. All the other players did their part and I am a happy camper!

Beautiful setup Richard! Of course you would have one of these beauties. I just picked up a Rolls a few weeks back, first shave was pretty nice, fun to use something different!

Traveled from Houston to San Antonio for my little brother's golf tournament and brought the razor I made. We all had a nice shave.
Razor: My own 13/16 French Point in Osage Orange
Brush: Finest two band in purpleheart (turned by my brother)
Soap: Billy Jealousy
Aftershave: Anthony Logistics

Wasn't that tournament in the Lackland AFB Gateway Hills golf course for instance? Don't think so, but then...!!!
Any way, you must've had a very good time... S. Antonio is really a good place to go...
Congrats for the beautiful blade and brush... and for the game for sure...!!

looks like a nice swing!

This tournament was actually at Vaaler Creek, a little north of SA. Definitely a great place to visit.

Beautiful razor!! Congrats!!

Thank you for the Congrats! :-)
But i have to say, the Scales are not my work (im much to untalented to make scales) ive only repinned the Razor, the scales had been made by a master of his work who retired a few years ago.
