Ahhhhhhh...now, I understand the origin of the name. It makes sense. Thanks buddy. but, €0.50 only? That's dirt cheap.

Hot shower
Warm Oil
Proraso Shave Cream
Bow Razor, half hollow I think, Glen would know better.
AOS Aluminum
Thayers Rose Petal
Vaseline for Men

I bought this razor and sent it out to Glen to restore. In the email communication he commented that he thought it was beautiful. After that comment from Glen I figured I may have something special. I got it back today and followed his instructions.
First I have to say he did a great job on this razor. He restored the scales so the look and feel brand new. The finish on the blade is fabulous and left a beautiful glowing finish. It is a big razor I think 7/8 and half hollow. The razor is very well balanced and although it is heavier than I am used too, it feels light.
The shave was fabulous. Glen indicated on the paper work he provides that it was finished on a Coticule. Because of the weight and balance of the razor I just let the razor glide over my skin and remove the whiskers effortlessly. I think this has been the best shave yet. Wonderful Job, Thanks Glen!!!

It is an interesting Theological question/debate...To me, this is another celebration and an excuse to feast and be with family.

Have a FANTASTIC Wednesday guys.

Lord have mercy! What a fine post! A very happy Christmas to you, Robert! Blessings, Tom
