Yes your right. His work is amazing. More impressive in person.

Update - Tonights shave I used a shea butter soap instead of the williams and it made a great superlather.

Beautiful stand!!!

Result: A very nice shave. The Sears is just over 4/8 so I have to get used to the blade every time.

My brother (who got me into straights) made the razor/brush holder from a piece of cherry. I think its the nicest piece of woodworking that I own!

I don't usually use a DE unless I'm in a hurry. This was one of those days...

Jason
That is by far one of the most gorgeous stands I have seen

Mind if I ask if your brother makes more? It seems to also house a little pocket for a DE or Str8

Simply beautiful

Took a hot shower as always and scrubbed the face.
Warm oil rubbed in well
Dirty Bird
Old Spice Original (had a sample size)
Badger Brush
W&B Barbers Notch
AOS Aluminum
Gentleman's Best after shave

I enjoyed the shave. The blade worked well and did not pull as it had started to do. I was pleased with the shave. I kept Twinkie the Kid, which houses the emergency Twinkie, close by in case I needed some nourishment.
The gentleman's Best After Shave makes my skin feel nice.

You folks make such nice photographs. I look forward to reading all the posts every day. Thanks so much!!!

Jeff,
You're ready for anything with that Twinkie . That should be officially classified as the fifth (actually sixth now) food group

Yea, that is a beauty! those are hard to get ahold of...That is a collector and a keeper for the rotation

Good morning Gentleman,

razor: W&B
AS: Old Spice



Have a nice day.

Maybe this blade is a bit bored of the peace and tranquility of Oregon and wants to go to the Spain to get some fiesta
