Nice razor Jeff, but sorry to hear about the irritation. The 12K should be fine...maybe not enough time on it. Or if you have a natural, try it (light touch)...just my 2 cents. If you don;t have a natural and are interested, send it to me and I'll do it for you, if you trust me, LOL (just email me).

Rene,
Beautiful blades all 3 of them. At least your daughter didn't hurt herself. Usually, this signifies that they are looking for attention, LOL. You need a display box with a lock, LOL

Haaaaaa. These days, that would be considered child abuse. When we were growing up it was called discipline. But Rene, she destroyed other razors (seriously?)?

Rasur mit einem Friodur auf deutsche Art und Weise- sehr schön

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush (Rudy Vey): 26mm w/TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger

Razor: 7/8" Friodur INOX w/scalloped back, Full Hollow, Spike Point (Black paper micarta scales by Max)

Strop: 45/65 Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather

Überlather: L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Creme + L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue

Results: This beautifully rescaled Friodur was the choice for today, and rightfully so. She delivered an astonishingly close shave. Coupled with the Cade-based überlather, she was effortlessly gliding and wiping the weeds growing on my face. It was a beautiful site to behold; with every pass, the disappearance of lather was concomitant with the emergence of an ever smoother skin. FANTASTIC in every way ...BBS and super smooth. I have a meeting with the City of Hope management team today and this shave has definitely left me with a smiling face . I am ready to tackle the day. Wunderbar .

You outdid yourself this time Robert! Excellent photo and that razor is absolutely stunning!

The displays this week have been incredible from everyone. My RAD is in serious overdrive and I am looking to diversify my razor rotation.
