Glad your wife's feeling better Glenn! Chasing a 23 month old toddler around is no cake walk!

Beautiful stones, and gorgeous photos, BTW!

My wife read them all to him this afternoon.

We are all waiting for Jack to have his first Str8 shave. Start thinking about which razor he is to use!!!

Good health to you and the family.

Great looking blade Mikael . From the sounds of it, she probably feels the need for a little TLC on the stones

After days of hurried, travel DE razor shaves; it's good to use one of my straights again. BBS rocks.

Great blade and a greater shave

Rene,
Congrats on finding your Fili again . Hopefully this time you'll keep it. What a great shave. Don't worry about tomorrow, just keep having regardless and your skin will be thankful

6/8 Fily #13 DT with baby blue scales freshly off my coticule
28mm H.L Thather Silvertip
Ambrose Cotton/Dovo XL Russian Leather/Ambrose Spanish Leather
Proraso White SS
Thayers' WH
Proraso AS Balm

Well I think I finally got this one dialed in. Much smoother than my first run with it. I now understand why people praise this razor. It's light, sharp, easy to strop/sharpen and looks amazing.

SHAVE ON!!

Oh and BTW, the extra moisturizer is very much needed these days! Canadian winters are brutal!

An American Economy shave!
I dulled the Morley with three strokes across glass, and proceeded with the dilucot method on my coticule from start to finish. I had to return to the stone for more finish work twice, just a matter of getting to know the coticule. While it's still not the best in the corral, it's not too far off and much better than it was previously, and I did not require any help from the Naniwa 12K this time!
Today's pic features my wife's Dickens Village lit up in the background... She sets this up every Christmas. God bless her, I don't have either the patience or the inspiration!

Great photos everyone!
