Fonti,
I love that box (and thanks for the link to the site)

Fabulous gear for a fabulous start to the first day of the new year

This was my first ever shave ready razor, my first restoration and my first set of scales. I like to think I've come a long way since then but I am very sentimental about this one.
Result: I finally tried the Tabac cream and really enjoyed its old school kind of smell.

Fantastic Grant. Take that baby to the hones and watch her shine. Glad you enjoy Tabac...Do you have the soap? if not, I think that's even better than the creme.

Grant,
As you have probably guessed, this forum has evolved to be more than just a place where we share pictures...it is a family affair. In some ways, little Jack (and your family) has become an integral part of our lives and families. There is not a day that my nephews and niece don't ask about the little guy.

Having said that, I adamantly hope (and pray) that the challenge of 2010 is nothing more than a distant memory and 2011 proves to be a healthy one for you all.

Wow, result! This blade is sharp, prob 5 on a 1-5 scale. After stroping, a hair splits where ever you tap it on the edge .

Warm weather dreams this morning. I'm already sick of winter!

Excellent post Mark and happy new year.
Just hop on over to LA and you and I can hang out in some warm(er) weather. It's an open invitation buddy...anytime you feel sick of where you are, just catch a plane and come on over...you always will have a "home away from home" and a place to stay

Definitely has become one of my favorites (as well as the MK 32). I just need to slightly tighten the pivot pins as the blade was moving too much during stropping.

Enjoy them my friend. These blades seem to have found a great place to call home
