Thanks Robert. This was the first handle I've made out of acrylic, pretty easy to work with actually.

Cheers!

The blade was ground so that the Toe is 6/8 and the Heel is 5/8, so the edge is actually diagonal. It makes shaving with it pretty neat because it's almost like scything naturally.

Nice photo Bill! Those are some exquisite looking fountain pens and as always a top notch blade.

Cheers!

Hands down shave of the week. This razor also seems to be one of those that just gets sharper the more you shave with it. TOBS Eton College is fast becoming a favorite as well. The smell is a bit different at first but seems to grow on you after using it for a while.

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest Tubby 2, 26 mm super/silvertip two band
Razor: Warranted
Soap: Professor Blightly´s Grapewood
AS: Professor Blightly´s Grapewood
Strops Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Wow, Neil has done a superb restoration of this razor. 200 years old and looks like new . And the scales are out of this world, well done Neil!! A bit unfair to shave with this one after two days with super preminum razors (3 crosses and Gotta 120), but it holds it´s on right. Fidos new brush is a delight to use aswell, I actually kept on painting with the brush after I had enough lather, very soft and nice bristels! The handle is top notch work and hand turned in England this time. It´s a wider handle than on the Cubby 2 and that works better for me. Everything with this shave was A +, pro B:s soft wear was stellar aswell. Even the Derby blade for the head shave, was top notch after some hand stropping.

Jeff, CarrieM's cream is great. The BRV is a scent that will make you hungry without a doubt! I hadn't used this one in a while, so I'm glad I pulled it out. I'd forgotten just how easy her creams are to lather up for a smooth comfortable shave!
