Glad to hear everyone is OK Jeff. I love the furniture in the background. I've seen it before and never commented, but it is a nice piece

Thank you...and yes, the Semogue is quite a brush. I actually have another on the way as we speak.

sharp,

That is one beautiful photo. The lighting is superb and sets the perfect mood.

I took my henckles 50 back to the hones after my last shave with it. Much better. It took 3 passes last time now im down to the 2-2 1/2 passes. Smooth. I also took a razor that a new member here sent me to hone. I offered to help him out. Ahh very nice. I think i have a decent routine for my hones. I will continue and see if the results continue.

Oh im starting to think that the boar are not a good choice for Uberlather.

Congratulations on the continued honing success Rene! I haven't tried the boar with uberlather, but It does amazing things with soap IME.

I've had some good results with uberlather (though not as good as with my silvertips). Where it really shines, though, is when I face lather with a soap!

Glad to hear you're getting better with the stones!

Thank you Glen and Bill. The honeing is coming along. Once i fight for the bevel the rest is not so bad. I hate the bevel! LOL!!

Bill im glad yours is working. Probably mine is still breaking in. The ST is great.

Henkles 7/8 in Bocote

The Henkles is a big blade and gives a very smooth shave. Sort of like driving a Lincoln compared to yesterdays Dubl Duck which is like a sports car.

Ooouchhh Jeff...glad that everyone is OK, but I bet it threw you and wife in a loop for awhile.

I love that Henckels . And that's a great analogy with the cars. Never thought of blades that way

Hey Lu,
Nice blade . If you have experience, I would love to know how you'd compare the "Le Dressante" to other Cotis like "La Veinette" or "La Petite Blanche"?

Good morning friends.
I get up at 7 a.m. today and picked up the newspaper. There was some fu... white stuff at the cars. No, it wasn't "H" it was snow.

The shave:

soap: Calani Gentleman
brush: Muehle Silvertip
razor: Wade & Butcher
ASB: Florena

Have a nice day.
