Again the Gotta delivered a superb shave. I did however have a momentary lapse in concentration and ended up with a half inch cut right in the middle of my left cheek from its rather unforgiving point. I was actually thinking about hones so I cant exactly say my mind wasnt on the job.
Also in this shot is some new restoration gear which came in this week.
Looking forward to getting home and trying some new techniques.

Some great pics already this week.
Have a great week fellas

Awesome, beautiful, gorgeous shots and gear today gentlemen . I am loving them all

Max; Fabulous razor
Fonti; excellent use of shadows and blacks. Wonderful balance and lighting
Tom; excellent as always (you may be on the plane back to FL already)
Amund; I love the use of glass (polarized to take care of reflection - I assume) and the background
Mikael: I had never heard of that blade (my ignorance)...real nice buddy. Interesting brush handle too.
José; excellent composition and blade...masterfully done
Zeth; I like the use of your chanter for this...somehow, very fitting
eleblu05; stunning blade. Do some DD come with the heel designed this way or was it a special restore?
Otto; I just love that chopper
Grant; sorry about the nick buddy...despite her a mean looking tip, she's a beauty. PS: what other restores were you referring to in that shot?
jasp; nice Bartmann
metalfab; That's an interesting bowl. Is it a one piece or that s smaller bowl is inside a bigger (orange) bowl?

Thanks Robert! It´s a Shieffield blade and they also made a (slightly more famoust) safety razor: the Wardonia. The brush and handle is a custom job from a dutch artisant guy (Henk).

Ahh, it didnt hurt... and it just adds to my tough-guy image.
