Razor: Bengall 4/8, horn.

This is my first SOTD.
This is my first BBS.
This is my first time when used a real badger brush.
I have not made acquisitions in a long time until now is a new strop, brush, razors... And lot of fun

But the most finest thing is the Bengall. This small (ugly;-) knife was only a "side order". I was buying a Boker and seller (shooter74743) had also this Bengall for sale, so decided to take it as well because it was budget priced and I had never before used a 4/8 razor. I have now shaved with this couple of times. It is finished with the Escher by Shooter. I have only stroped it.

OMG this knife is awesome killer shaaaaarp!!! I have never before used knife like that. And never felt so smooooth shave!

Thank you shooter74743. Your blade is amazing

After thanking and sending our last guest home, wife and I just got back (or rather were kicked out by the co-hosts and the other volunteers...they will close out and clean up) from this evening's rather successful event. I decided to respond to some of you guys' kind comments and posts before crashing for the night.

The evening was an absolute success...By our treasurer's "quick & dirty" estimate, we may have raised >$270K between 214 guests (some of whom are BIG donors...and I mean HUGE !!!)...We'll find out mid-week, in our followup meeting, when the final numbers are presented...This will be much awaited great news for the cochlear implant kids in Armenia. What a way to end Sunday.

Haha Tom...once in a blue moon, I do have to look presentable and today was one of those days . Harley T-shirt sounds comfortable my friend, although you won't find me wearing that during this winter season, in Germany .
