As a point of interest, the piece of lava rock that the Genco is posed upon is from the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. My daughter was an SP in the USAF, and stationed at Clark Air Base at the time of the explosion. The installation was evacuated except for the SP unit.. A tense time for us...

Razor: 15/16 Geo. Wostenholm & Sons Celebrated I-XL Wedge Hollow Point
Rockingham Works Ca. 1836 - 1847
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Brush: Omega Boar
ASB: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum
First shave with this chopper and I must admit to being a little intimidated by the size of it! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif The spine of this thing is 3/16 wide and it weights about 3 ozs. It's really a beautiful razor for something that's about 170-180 years old. I have seen a number of Wostie choppers that were from the Washington Works but the Rockingham Works predates the Washington Works as far as I could determine. This thing took a wicked edge with only a few strokes on the hone. The shave was smooth and comfortable; very pleasant and mild, not at all what I expected. This beauty is a keeper! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...s/happy005.gif
Great shaves shown by all this morning Gentlemen! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...es/biggrin.gif

Same here...everytime I ride. I relax; but unlike yours my bike has a motor.Quote:

If you're in Germany, see if you can find that metal polish - I like it even better than Maas.

I guess there's more than one way to define "relax" :)
