The Morley was a bit harsh after the last honing. A good stropping seemed to tame it a bit...

During my time away I tried to stick to just one razor and pretty much the same prep until I was happy with my technique, and finally I can say that I am. Moving onto today's shave:

Soap: Proraso
Razor: Morley Clover Brand "Queen Cutter" (honing by Dylan, edge is smooth as butter)
Splash: Thayer Rose Witch Hazel
ASB: Trumpers Limes Skin Food
Result: Amazing shave. Ever since i got this razor in the mail I've been using nothing else. I can tell my Case is getting jealous....
Thanks again to Dylan for spotting and honing this beast for me, The Queen Cutter sure is a lady worthy of my time.

Welcome back to the SOTD!

Sorry for the delay, but here's a tutorial that several of you had requested from me ~1 month ago.

Themed SOTD image (the PDF tutorial will show you how to achieve this)

It will teach you how to warp/twist/bend photos and put them into a collage of sorts...Kind of like the image above, which I posted not too long ago in one of my SOTDs. More will be coming (later).


Here's the link to the Tutorial: Attachment 49611

Enjoy it. Let me know if it is clear, doesn't work or anything.

Also, I think I will start a thread soon where everyone can download their tutorials to share.

Max: As the moderator of this forum, do you have any suggestions on how to best do this? Where would such tutorial belong?

Robert,

You are one of the most giving and gracious persons out there. Thank you for ALL of your contributions!

This was my first shave with the Hart and I was very impressed. I was surprised how well this thing shaved right out of the box! I didn't do anything to it, and I still got a wonderful, comfortable shave. To me, the balance on this blade is perfect and the large shank makes the razor very easy to handle. So far, I'm very impressed with this razor.

My, my my Ray...Allow me to echo what Glenn and Bruce already said: that is a drop dead gorgeous blade . Look at the etching/artwork on the blade. Woooahhhh!!

I have a Fenney with the exact same etching... shame it also has about a half inch of hone wear on it. Sweet blade.
