Nice one Lu! I love the English razors for how they look and feel in the hand.

Thanks Mikael,
I really have taken to the Sheffield razors, I have 3 that are in shaving shape now. I also have a few more in the garage waiting on a bit more time, hopefully I will be able to get them cleaned and honed in the next couple of weeks.

Brush: shavemac best badger

Wow, what a ride! This was my first experience with a blade wider than 5/8". I love the way the wide blade handled. The added width also kept my hands and the hinge of the razor out of the lather in my goatee. Maybe it's the "heft" of this razor, but this baby felt steadier in my hand than other razors.

Great razor Tim, beautiful scales Alex! Special thanks go to my gracious friend for loaning this incredible work of art to me!

Greg,

That is an AWESOME razor!
