That's one heck of a beautiful blade Ace . I got one from Jeremy (aka, Shavedzombie) a few days ago (can't wait to get mine).

Just curious: where did you get your blades Matt? all the ones I have seen have such beautiful scales and are very well polished.

Thanks Robert
I usually buy my blades on e-bay, and If there In bad shape Ill handsand them up to a mirror finish. With this Easy Aces It just needed some light sanding Maas and the scales needed Some TW rubbing Compound/Maas Polish with my dremel, but other then that I lucked out. Cant wait to see your Easy Aces, and they r Great shavers, Also if Jeremy put an edge on it , u know its going to be sharp.

Thanks for the kind words, Sir!

=================================

Today's SOTD:

Razors: Thiers-Issard 6/8 worked back. 3/4 hollow & W. Greaves and Sons 7/8 wedge. I like using two razors per shave... It's fun to compare how they shave

Brush: H. L. Thäter, 24mm silvertip. Luxurious doesn't even describe it.

Cream: The Body Shop for Men's Maca Root. It's on a tier with TOBS... I'd buy the tube for travel, but there are too many better creams out there for me to keep a stock of it (or TOBS). However, it does perform very well for it's price, and you get a ton of it in the jar.

Strops: Started out on the Modular paddle, 40 on felt, 40 on Bridle and 40 on Premium I. Finished with Roo. Post shave will be 25 felt and 25 Premium I.

Yet another fantastic cold water SOTD.

Cheers,
Jeremy
