I really like the horn scales on this blade Fonti and great job with the smooth stones in the photo, they set off the scales nicely.

Excellent Frank. I've never shaved with a DE, but after a recent travel debacle I'm thinking about giving one a try. Thanks to you and all the guys who post DE's for fueling my curiosity.

Hey Glenn,

I guess the photo didn't show the name so well and I didn't think about listing it. That is a Sta Sharp. It was sold by Sears Roebuck and Co.. I'm pretty sure it is German manufacture. I was fortunate enough to find it NOS on ebay. It cost quite a bit, but it had never been touched with a hone and it was easy to set a bevel. It's my favorite full hollow.

Thanks for the kind words. God bless.

Bill

I have to say, today's shave might have been the closest shave I have ever had. The Feather blades are no joke.

Frank,
Don't mess with Feathers...the name is a misnomer. Very good blades though.

Bill,
I guess she's finicky that way. Hey, even if she doesn't perform, it is a cheap soap...you can throw it out and chose another without blinking an eye. One thing we have no shortage of is great soaps/cremes.

Beautiful frameback...and congrats on achieving another honing success.

Amen my friend...well said.

AND......HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
