Thanks for the BD wishes

W&B tapered wedge - reground and rescaled by Joe C.

Great first shave with the W&B - Joe did a fantastic job on the regrind, rescale and honing.

At the risk of gloating, I got the blade in very good condition (no rust or pitting) for $5 and paid another $70 to have Joe work his magic - so, for about $85 including shipping, I have a one-of-a-kind, shave-ready razor that will shave rings around just about any new razor that you could buy for the same $$.

If you need a razor reground, Joe's the man!

Come on, there's no reason to be mean, Chris!

And yes, I have always been very satisfied with Joe. A buch of razors should be arriving at his door any time now

Cheers
Ivo

A repeat of the tuesday shave... but better! i had taken the razor to the stones.. 3/3, 1/5, 1/7 and the eddge is much nicer... bench hone before the thursday shave though to finish it i think.
