Just so you know, I'm am unbelievably jealous of that razor.
I'd ask how she shaves, but I know I will want it more after the answer.

Result: Watched a video of my last shave with this razor, applied what I learned to this shave. Resulted in a marked increase in BBS, especially in my trouble areas. Face lathering with this brush is a luxury. Cannot quit the Yardley. Too good.

Prep: Warm shower
Razor: DOVO Bismarck 6/8 Spike point
Brush: shavemac best badger
Shave soap: C&E Nomad
Shave cream: C&E Nomad

This DOVO always delivers. Two days' whisker growth laid to waste!

Back in my hometown Memphis visiting family. Photo taken this morning looking north from Tom Lee Park, just below the Chickasaw Bluffs on which downtown Memphis sits. Downtown is off-camera to the right; Mud Island forms the right bank in the picture. The pictured Hernando Desoto Bridge carries I-40 across the mighty Mississippi River.

This baby just recieved a touch up yesterday. Not because it really needed it but my honing skills have improved since I restored it, and so has my collection of hones. Took it from around the 8.5 out of 10 score to somewhere in the high 9's. This was also a nice opportunity to try out the new lightbox I made last night
Result: Real nice shave, about as smooth as you'll get with one pass. Very satisfying.

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.

Yep, it's my poor pic skills at work. I love this blade because it looked like somebody bought it and stuck in a drawer somewhere and forgot about it. THe scales were rotted, but the blade just needed to be shined up a little and haoned. I made the scales one if my first attemts to be "Max" like and used yellow heart that ended up loking like a 3rd graders Husky pencil holding a blade. I have slowly aquired the tools needed for my next attempt..G10, or maybe some horn, recon stone, proper jeweler's hammer and some other lickies and chewies to make the scales a more deserving product for the blade...

There are a lot of my pipes- and yes, it's a Stanwell. One of my best.

I have been there, your pipes are beutiful. Your taste in razors reflect in your pipes also. You have a great eye for craft.
