Thank you monsieur...well, my line of work is flexible and doesn't always require me to be present at work to work. However, I do like getting out of the house and dealing with people. Problems are always better solved face to face and I can't avoid meetings (as much as I would like). Besides, if I worked at home all the time, I would drive my wife nuts (according to her), LOL.

W&B makes some of the smoothest wedges out there.

Haha...too funny Tom, LOL. Actually, I had a VERY productive day. I would say I am almost caught up with all the time lost last week.

Wo hoo, everything played well together today But I really need a larger/wider brush scuttle for this brush.

Very nice blade Tom! Is it a full hallow (looks that way, could of course be extra hallow aswell)?

Mikael,
it is 1/4 hollow 7/8

Thanks, it looked more hollow than mine, but it´s prob just an optical illusion. Very nice though, how do you think it behaves compared to more hollow TI grinds?

By my mind, the 1/4 is better.
But I don't like full-hollow razors generally.
