So glad to see you here Lynn. Over on the dark side! LOL!

No Japanese Razor yet but I do have some blades-

Pre: Hot shower
SC: CF Sandelwood
Brush: Rooney
Razor: Rooney DE
Blades: Next best thing to a str8 Feather Hi-Stainless
AS: Clubman

These Feather blades clean off the stubble with no problem, best DE blades I've ever used, IMHO.

We're halfway through the week its been spectacular so far can"t wait to see how this winds up.


Good shaving gents,
Jim

Yes and I neglected to also say that my thoughts thru the day are with the people of Japan. They will regain control and rebound (lets hope soon) for they are Japanese.

New Forest 2201 | Martin De Candre | Kamisori | Alum | Cade Aftershave Balm | ELDO Fat Electrician

Hot shower with Stephan's rubbed into the whiskers.
Warm oil of my own creation
Hannah Ceramic Bowl
Custom Badger Brush
Trumpers Shave Cream
Kinsyo Frame Back
SRD P1 Strop
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men

This is only the second time I used this blade since I did the progression on the stones many months ago. It is a heavy razor and I really had avoided it due to the weight. I did not recall if I liked the shave last time, just the fact that it was too heavy.
I decided to use it to show support for the Japanese people who are, as we are all aware, really having a tough time. I know it is a small gesture but it was to show they are constantly on my mind and will be until they are back on their feet and those Nukes are shut down safely.

My shave was flawless. I am thankful in my own spiritual way and my prayers continue to be with the good people of Japan.

I never have seen a sort of japanese eteel as this,...thanks for sharing gents, I guess that every memeber has enjoyed this SOTD day :

You pop in and lay that set out for us to see....WOW, very, very nice. I would hurt myself trying to switch razors 7 times.

Well done Monroe and way to go Bill. That's what makes this forum extra special. BTW: I think the Manaslu is 7/8", not 6/8" (at least, that what I read on mine)

Andy, This is just perfect. I love it. We will look forward to drooling over that Kamisori of yours when she's ready.

Love that Wosty Bruce. We can call it the "Pipe-sori" to make it Japanese, LOL.

Unfreaking believable !!!! So perfect and only one multi directional pass...
This razor is so sharp and velvety smooth from it's time spent on the Nakayama Midori stone it outshines so many other razors.

She's a beauty Glenn. Just curious what your honing regimen is with these beasts? what kind of ratio do you keep with the omote:ura, etc?

You bet José. What's more, it fuels the RAD by identifying gaps we have in our collections. I bet everyone has made a list of blades they need to be getting in the near future, LOL...I know I have. God: this is a very dangerous SOTD theme.

Thanks Robert! The Wosty is about as close to a Japanese razor as I can get. LOL (I don't have anything close) I didn't remember the theme week until the DD day (don't have one of those either) so I'm totally off track right now. Maybe I'll finally get into step in the remainder of the week. LOL
