Great job Frank ...one step closer to the perfect edge

Remember...With the Coticule (with water), you want no pressure...strokes as light as air. At least that has been my experience. it really makes a HUGE difference.

Thanks Robert,
maybe I'll have an outdoor shave, because there is a lot of rain in Glauchau, Saxony.
My mother told me, there was a thunderstorm and some trees in the backyard fall down. The firefighters had done their work already.
Interesting!

There will be some work for my camera I think.
Stay tuned.

Shorts and sandals are "out" in Germany.
F..k!

Robert,

That is exactly what I concentrated on. Very light pressure. Seems to have given me good results.

I wish that I owned a "Special" w/ the faux Tortoise scales.

Cheers...

Thank you Jhenry, she is a wonderful shaver for me. The edge is awesome super smooth for me.

That's a great looking scuttle you have there Bill! Nice SOTD, a very well put together kit

Great Razor Grant! I just bought a Barber's Pet from GSSixgun and it is a great shaver.
