(4) That is yet another creative way to use failed products. Kudos...I like the way you think

(1) That just came off the top of my head. Probably because it looked really good when I got done whipping it up but like some of the reviews I've read since I got it have stated that the lather just sort of evaporates.
(2) I'm pretty sure it's a 3/8...I'll check tonight when I get home. I got it off fleabay last year from one of the vendors in Argentina(?) that for a while alway's had about a doz or so listed in various sizes and quite a few of the Especial barbas duras whatevers.
(3) Hope for a miracle...work with what you get.
(4) Thanks Blade. I try to get my money's worth out of what I buy. It'd have to be really...really bad to just chuck it out. Hey if nothing else it still has a nice scent so....

Michael

Very nice razor

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Razor: 7/8" Solingen Stainless, 1/4 Hollow, Round Point

Strop: 60/75 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Al Raz Custom "Cloves/Lavender/Black Pepper" Shave Creme

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar

Cologne: Truefitt & Hill Spanish Leather

Results: Another fabulous shave this AM...This time with the Solingen Stainless. Rogue whiskers stood no chance with this blade. It had been awhile since I had used Al's wonderful creme. This creme is soooooo über-good, that it needs no help from any soap or glycerin. Excellent cushion and glide. This shave was SMOOOOOOOTH as butter !!! I feel BBS and clean.

Have a FANTASTIC Wednesday gentlemen.

Love that blade Robert
Happy shaving everyone.
