Thanks for that. Is it really heavy duty? Also, how much work does it take to hone?

Better still, care to post a review for this razor in the razor review section?

Rene,

That is a beautiful Dorko! Glad she gave you the shave you are looking for, Stefan does a very nice job with his razors! And, more importantly, it looks like your daughter is learning how to manipulate you early; she should keep at it!

I got this razor here:
RasurPur Online Shop - The finest tools for a perfect shave

I think if you have some experience in honing and some good stones (Naniwa 1k,3K,6K, 8K, 10K)
there will be no prob.
This razor is a new one!!!

This Wacker continues to impress beyond words! The blade glided so effortlessly across my face with the awesome lather and hairs just melted underneath it. I was left with a smooth comfortable face. The Amouage Tribute has a depth to it that few colognes can match!

Gentlemen, keep the pictures coming because if the shaves are even fractionally as nice as the pictures look, you're all having an awesome week!

Bill,
Awesome Wacker buddy . They are great shavers. What a way to start the day.

Rene,
What a blade ...Although I have not had the pleasure of experiencing one of Stefan's honed razors, I have heard that his are some of the meanest, sharpest but smoothest edges out there.

Great pics gentlemen!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme

Razors: 7/8" Giesen & Forsthoff decorated back, Hollow, Spike Point

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Überlather: Al Ra Custom "Da Bomb (scent: black Pepper, Lavender, Cloves) Shave Creme

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

ASB: NancyBoy Replenishing AS

Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Facial Moisturizer

Cologne: Penhaligon Racquets

Result: I LOVE this custom da Bomb from Al...the complex "black pepper/cloves/lavender" aroma really wake up the senses (and what can I say, I am a sucker for spicy scents). Add to this mix the Shavemac (which was happily rolling in this thick, moist lather) and the freshly honed (thank you Lynn ) Giesen & Forsthoff which I snatched from the classifieds and, I couldn't wipe a satisfying grin off my face. My wife was loving this too. I was in heaven. Don: you were right. I do love this blade (and so does my wife).

TGIF and a long weekend for us folks in the US. Have a great Friday guys .
