PS: Sorry the Cella is not giving you the love you seek from a soap :-(

Thanks Robert, I guess you could say I have "Bubble Trouble"! LOL

Well you guys haven't seen me in here in a while, first SOTD with one of my straights since my hand injury back in November so I'll come back with the beast in my rotation....

Never, the beast is on tour: just stopped by Lynn's place and is now en-route to Charlies and another lucky gent... can't wait to see it again, but for now the American and German blades will keep me happy and smooth

Great to see you back Phil. Glad you healed up quick (I hope 100%). Nice blade and great rescale.

Thanks Robert. A quick recovery.....boy I wish, seemed like forever and sadly I have lost a lot of strength and a good bit of mobility in my fingers(mostly my index) but nothing I can't deal with. I got the blade from Bob in November '09 and it's been an awesome shaver. More pics can be seen here... http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ghost-g10.html

Great pics everybody, keep it up.

I must have good water here, I get such a good lather from the MWF, its good stuff. I didnt even put on any A/S or balm tonight, just wanted to feel the naked result of the MWF shave. One hour later my face feels great.
This may be the last time you guys see this razor in its current form. It was my first succesful restoration, my first set of scales and I think it was also the first shave ready razor I ever used. However its time for a touch up, and I'm thinking I'll pull it apart, give it a proper restore and a better set of scales. Pretty busy at the moment though so it might be out of service for a little while.

Enjoy your weekends fellas
