Funny, I disliked this INOX from the beginning because I couldn't get it sharp. A couple of weeks ago, I ran Lord-knows-how-many-passes on my 12K while watching television and finally got a proper edge on it. Now it's one of my favorites!

Yep, sometimes it takes a wetstone and a lot of elbow grease to make a str8 razor behave. At any rate, that's a very nice looking razor.

Indeed! And thank you... this got quite a makeover from Undream to make it so pretty!

I wondered if those were the original scales. Thank you for clarifying this matter. They do indeed look nice. Hat's off to both Undream and you.

Yorkie,

Omega brushes are becoming my favorite--along with the Valobra Soft Shaving Soap. When combined with shave cream, Valobra produces bountiful lather and the Omegas are a real standout in my bevy of shaving brushes for creating nice, luxurious lather with a minimum of effort.[/QUOTE]

+ 1 on that Dr.J . I also own the Omega Silvertip in addition to the Model 20106 which is a big 28MM knot hogs hair brush. Along with the Vulfix brushes, Omega brushes are also my favorite. HOG
