I'm a long way from having the stone mastered Robert, but I am pleased with how it's coming along! I find the edges quite well suited to my sensitive facial skin.

I love both the stones you've mentioned, and I'm looking for an Escher or Thuringian through channels other than the usual, but I must admit that I feel completely out of my element with J-Nats. I don't understand what the symbols mean, the plethora of names and suffixes... Everything about Japanese stones is Greek to me...

I won't wade into that arena until I know a least a little about all the nuances.

Thanks for your remarks,Robert!Im still learning from you,Mark and many other great photographers here.

3 bears have arrived for Jacky Boy. That was quicker than I anticipated.
From left to right we have Glenn (from Sharp), Moppy (from eTom) and Rene (from Nicknbleeding). He loves them, and so does 5 year old Lilly .
Thank you for putting a smile on both their faces.
And of coarse they love the boxes they came in too...
You guys are awesome
Here's that pic for you Tom.

Strop: Vintage A H Christians and Sons Waverley
Brush: Comoy Badger
Uber-Lather: Comoy Sandalwood Soap, Faulding Shave Cream + Glycerine
Razor: Custom Simmons Barber's Pet
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
After usung this razor on Sunday night and enjoying it so much, I had to go back. Its been a HOT day here so I decided to treat myself to a nice Uber-Lather.
Fantastic shave. With the extra glide of the Glycerine this was just like wiping the lather off my face. It didnt even feel like I was hitting any wiskers. So Smoooooth.

Thanks for all the great post and pics. I havent had much time to comment on all of them. You would think that not working I would have plenty of time on my hands. Not the case. I guess 4 kids will do that to ya.

Thanks Rene, I really like them too. They were made by me in acrylic, but inspired by the master Buddel.
