Now if that ain't BBS I don't know what is! The edge on this razor has really come around nicely and it truly has evolved into one of my best razors. Arko shavestick is amazing too. You know you're on to something when you rinse your face between passes and can nearly generate a face full of slick lather with your bare hands. If there's a better soap on the market someone please tell me what it is. This shave was just brilliant, my best in recent memory.

Wow!!! Once again Ray that is a very beautiful RW razor. I love those scales and the contrasting shiny peens and blue spacer make it a sight to behold. Congratulations."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Razor: Unknown TI in Red Staminawood. Gorgeous.
Brush: SRD Stephen's Woodworking #6. Too big for my mug, but a fantasitc brush.
Cream: CarrieM's luxurious lather in Black Raspberry Vanilla... Such thick, creamy lather, other creams should be ashamed!
Strop: The trusty SRD Modular Paddle
ASB: Unnecessary after four passes with CarrieM's Crack-Cream, but still, Nivea for Men replenishing.
Result: I'm starting to figure out the angles appropriate for this TI regrind... BBS everywhere but the neck, and damn close there.
Success summed up with quality coffee and... Writing assignments
