Genco Easy Aces, spike point, full hollow.
AOS Aluminum.
Pinaud Bay Rum.

Picked up this Easy Aces after drooling over the one Glenn posted in his SOTD. Glenn (Sharp)was kind enough to drop me a PM letting me know where there was one for sale. I Jumped over and once again fed my RAD.
It arrived today. The instructions indicated it was properly honed, stropped and was shave ready. I placed it into the Barbicide for a time then rinsed and shaved.
It was shave ready, very sharp and smooth and sang like a well tuned full hollow. Nice shave.

Glenn.....THANKS!!!!

Re-Honed the Old English last night on the Takashima Kiita with a nagura progression. I can see retiring my Naniwas as I am LOVING the edges I am getting of of this stone. Smooth, irritation free, BBS!!

I've been going back and forth with this little wedge blade all week, trying to achieve Coticule success with it. I've finally done it, and as the Beatles sing...

Fantastic Bill and congrats on your continued success in unlocking the secrets of your Coti (La Veinette, right?! if memory serves)

Huge amounts of Swedish steel patiently honed on Japanese stones, slicing through German lather and my American Mutt stubble, accompanied by a Los Angeles DJ spinning classic Brazilian pop and bossa hits. Welcome to the future, where all points coincide. Whoa.

Gotta love the international mix of players in this shave. Well dome Justin . I love that blade. My understanding is that size and 134 is pretty rare...but I could be wrong.

Watch out guys. Frank is on a roll and I am affraid that he may be headed for a Center for HAD Addiction . We're here for you buddy (if you need support)

I love hearing about your (and everyone else's) successes in honing. Congrats. Well done.

Thank you Glenn, I really did enjoy making the brushes and I will be making another bush or 2 soon. I still think I will buy a lathe. Simple is good.

Glenn,

Lovely photo reminds me of hunting seasons past.

Congratulations Dups, glad you liked the Filly.
Enjoy.
