Paul,
Unfortunately, without a reference to which razor, it's hard to know who should thank you . With that said, this thread features some of the best looking blades one has ever laid eyes on. A RAD enabling thread for sure, LOL

Thank you Mark. Aside from the beautiful blade, it was the color that I was sold on. My wife loved it.

He must be a busy man, especially with people like Robert out there.

Hehehehehe. I'm just doing my part in supporting the small businesses that are the backbone of this country.

Good morning.

Edwin Jagger : Wilkinson : Semogue : Nanny's : Speick : Miller Harris

Thursday Dome and Face Shave
Prep: Hot Shower, Baby Oil Gel
Dome Razor: Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Face Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 1305
Cream: TOBS Eton College
AS: Alum Block, Nivea ASB
Finish: Aqua Velva Classic

Pithy Remarks: Nothing goes better with a sweet flower shirt and a panama hat than a healthy splash of Aqua Velva. The oppressive heat is just around the corner. Headed for a high of 91 degrees today. Not much call for wool felt fedoras in this kind of weather.

Susuma | Semogue 2010 LE | AK 1869 + DR Harris Almond + Glycerin | Alum | Mecca Balsam

Another fabulous shave with my new favorite uber. This combination creates a scent that absolutely fills the den like no other. Add to that the performance qualities of two top notch products, and I'm in heaven!

Gentlemen, the bar keeps getting raised higher and higher here in this thread. Wonderful!

MONDAY:

T. Turner’s “Everlasting” 7/8 wedge razor, vintage Old Spice soap, custom acrylic ring-embedded silvertip brush. #SOTD

TUESDAY:

Frederick Reynolds 7/8 wedge razor, Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap. Not such a fan of the soap, but the bowl is awfully pretty.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: DR Harris, Silver tip 26mm

Razor: Alex Jacques 8/8 Damascus, Spanish point

Honing Regimen: : 1-5-10K Chosera, Nakayama Maruichi

Strop: Kanayama #90000 Tri-strop Cordovan Shell

Soap/Cream: DR Harris Arlington shaving Soap

Astringent: Alum

After shave Balm: DR Harris Arlington

EdT: DR Harris Arlington

Results: A wonderfully smooth shave. Did a touch-up of this razor. It was good, but tugged just a tiny bit on the chin. My Nakayama Maruichi fixed that pretty fast. 30 strokes with Tomonagura slurry and 50 on water. Pure shaving bliss

******************************

I'm getting ready for the weekend.
Have a great day Gentlemen!

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS: Finest Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Long Life 11/16, Laurel DE for Head Shave
Astringent: Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
The last few times I've picked up this razor I wondered if its going to be due for a touch-up, but it just doesn't want one. It seems to hold its edge very well. Tonight I only went for one pass plus touch-ups, there wasnt a lot of growth after last nights 3 pass uber-lather BBS.
The head got 2 passes with the DE and looks much better now.

Have a great day boys
Grant
