Thanks Monroe

Camera: FujiS5 Pro, off-shoe/remote flash...shoot color
Software: Photoshop CS4...I only use this for special effects - convert to B&W, then layers, masks, and textures (5 minutes tops and voilà)...There's so much effects you can do with this, it's unreal.

LeGrelot (fresh from being honed by Glen - super smooth & super sharp!)
Coate's Almond
Pure Badger Brush
DB Scuttle
Speick aftershave balm
absolutely wonderful shave!!

Be careful where you leave that thing...it it's honed by Glen, then it's bound to cut through the scuttle it's sitting on .

BTW: Nice Le Grelot...I recently acquired one (Le Hospital, which was rescaled by Max) and I will test shave with it next week and report back.

To paraphrase an oft used quote, "only sharp razors are interesting"... and Glen certainly makes my razors interesting! The LeGrelot is just wonderful now!!

The Pen's SC was even better today as I found the sweet spot for the water/cream mixture, and the DD just gives me such a consistently good shave. I hope you all have days as great as mine has started out...

Hi Bill,
I mean to ask...don't you LOVE the shave of that DD special #1. I didn't know how great this thing was until I got one myself.

Thanks for sharing.

The DD #1 is a sweet shave. I feel very fortunate to be able to say my first razor was such a smooth blade!

How was that TI you used today? It's a pretty looking razor!
