Tom every time I see this razor I am awe struck! The curve of the spine matched with the curve of the scales is beautiful. Very nice sir!

Thank you Glen. I think i am going to focus more on honing.

If you´ve got problems getting your creams/soaps to lather and don´t want to uber/superlather, use Arko, period.

Brrrrrrr. It does look like it's going to be one cold winter in your neck of the woods Otto. But, beautiful view...as long as you're in a heated home and looking out

Nice RW razor...How many customs do you have?
