These are G10 Jade Ghost and I'm only using those temporary until I find time to build custom scales for my blade (hence the adjustable screw). Like they say, the mechanics car always gets fixed last.Quote:

Razor: Thiers Issard AOS Hollow ground
~ I have 3 razors in my rotation currently and have been through two full cycles now and I have to say even at my learners curve, I look forward to shaving with this blade the most. The blade is much heavier then my Henckles #16 and my new production Boker. I feel at least at the moment it is giving me the best shave of the three which I was surprised by because it is the only blade I have NOT had professionally honed. I started using this directly out of the box from AOS. I have a coarse beard so perhaps the added "weight" of the TI blade helps???
Brush: Custom Spalted Maple w/Silvertip
Soap: SRD Bulgarian Rose Essential Oil Soap (Sample)
~All I can say is "WOW"! I opened this sample up for the first time this morning and it really rocked my socks off :rock:, haha. Honestly though it lathered great, and the aroma was heavenly. I have heard that with the full size soap the scent actually gets better over time once the soap has had opportunity to "open up". My girlfriend came into the bathroom while I was shaving and told me I had to order a full puck of it immediately :)
