Gorgeous razor, Ronnie!

Pulling out theWosty Pipe razor today...So much talk about neglected razors last week that I went over to the work box and pulled this back out of the pile. I love the shave, but don't like the yellow heart scales and have been meaning to put some new ones on since last year...You know how that goes....So I put the old Wosty back in the rotation until I make new scales....No reason to not enjoy the blade..

Strop: Rup Razor, 10 on pasted side(Cx, .5 micron), 75 on leather
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
Scuttle: SRD
Brush: TGN custom Grade A Silvertip Badger
Razor: Genco "Easy Aces"
After Shave: Cold water splash followed by hot water splash, C.O.Bigelow Menthol lotion
Result: Super Smooth and that satisfaction of a job well done (I love the first shave after honing a razor).

I spent late Saturday night and into Sunday morning cleaning & honing this Razor. It was an ebay find (some staining on the blade, but in good shape otherwise). It was very dull. After some polishing and some Barbicide, I set the bevel using 2 pieces of tape on a 1k Norton. I removed 1 piece of tape and moved to pyramids on the 4k/8k. I Finally finished on the 12k Naniwa, stropped on pase, then leather. The shave was amazing!

This was my first experiment with the "Cold Water" shave. I gotta say that in the summer months, this may be just the ticket. The cold water coupled with the C.O. Bigelow cream, & their Peppermint Oil lotion as an ASB, made my face feel like it was on ice for a good 45 minutes...amazing!

Have a great Sunday Gentlemen!

Very nice gear

Man...those Easy Aces are nice shavers. Mine is with Glen being rescaled (and maybe other things he's keeping secret from me ).

Beautiful blade Wintchase .

I don't know if it's the photo or what, but it looks like the toe has a major chip in it...I'm inclined to think it's a shadow in the photo or something.

1. Nice W&B buddy .
2. Interesting choice of SciFi books. Have you read the other 11 in the "Ender's Game" series.

3. Thuringia...is that were the highly prized Eschers and Thuringian stones come from?

I hope your fingers feel better.

1. Thanks- got it from the daughter of a WWII-barber (USA)
2. I collect SciFi books- and of course I read all books about Ender.
The most important is "Ender's Game"
3. Yes the Thuringian stones and the Eschers come from Thuringia


regards
Tom

Wintchase,
take a look at the thread: "Pipe of the day"
There are a lot of my pipes- and yes, it's a Stanwell. One of my best.
