A wonderful shave tonight... I've been busy recently, so this is long overdue
Razors:
- A 13/16 3/4-full hollow Pearlite from old sheffield... Big beefy tang and spine. Redone in Black horn with a Jasper wedge by Brad (Undream)
- A 7/8, 1/4-near wedge Joseph Rodgers from Sheffield. This one took a lot of work (by Brad) to get shaveable again... It was in awful condition, and he did wonderful work with it. Redone in Blonde horn with a turquoise wedge (again by Brad)
- A 7/8 Near Wedge Fredrick Reynolds. Also from Sheffield. This guy was, like it's brothers, done by Brad, in multicolored horn with a yellow-stone wedge.
I've gotta say, I am floored by Brad's work. the scales look fantastic and the fit and finish is out of this world. The work on the blades was absolutely wonderful, and his edges are excellent. Along with the wonderful work done, Brad is absolutely wonderful to work with. Very good followup, and very good at getting what you want done (I know I'm a terribly picky, fussy customer, so thanks for working with me, Brad, I'm happy as could be with these.)
Brush: Stephen's Woodworking #6 from SRD. It's great.
Cream: CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla. Smells delicious and lathers wonderfully
Strop: TM Horsehide and Nylon. I've been using horsehide a LOT lately... Can't wait for SRD's Horsehide to come out :D
A fantastic shave, guys and gals, and these blades are WONDERFUL!
Cheers!

This blade is very nice, it´s a vintage Solingen blade made for the Swedish market (you can read faint Swedish letters on the blade, se pic two). Did some more serious scyting (sliding) moves today and it worked fine, even though some of the hard to get rid of stubble disapeared other areas was worse. I did however get two nicks :-(
Smooth shave from the Swedish Steel!
