you're welcome.
Here you get again a picture of my Diamond:

For all readers-please realize:
The Diamond is a full hollow "singing razor". By my mind it is not a razor for a beginner. All full hollows need a little bit experience.
Hot shower, followed by a generous lathring of SRD Blood Orange, 25 strokes on canvass then 40 on the leather of my Tony Miller 3" Red Latigo, WTG/AGT with my Torrey, followed up with Pineaud Clubman Bay Rum.

This shave was special because it was the first time i honed up my own blade from start to finish. This Goldseal took an incredible edge and performs just as well as any of my other Gencos. Thanks to David for painstakingly lapping my Naniwas for me :) and Glen for walking me through a couple of things> Anyway great shave to start off the week and great pics for me to gawk at Guys!!!!
After 7 months of just using straights, I'm enjoying a run through some of my DEs the past couple of weeks. Slept in a bit this morning (a rare thing with 3 kids in the house), so did a quick, but nice two-pass shave. I like my DE shaves but can definitely tell a difference by the end of the day. The smoothness of the straight shave just lasts longer.
Razor: Muhle Chrome Stylo
