Tom,
That seems to be the consensus among the owners

Mikael,
See? You already have a marriage made in heaven. This PC (a gorgeous blade) and your Bill Simpson brush are made for one another. You don't need my Maxterpiece, LOOOOOOL.

Glenn,
Super fantastic shave. I like your uber-combination and brush. Nice Halstead too. So, what's your next wedge going to be?

Spent a little time on the fine stone with this razor last evening just a fine polishing sort of thing and the edge was really nice for me today.

Beautiful KT GI. What stone did you use?

In the picture is one of the display cases I've just finished. I made 2 of them because, lets be honest, I know I'll fill them. And one day I'd like to pass on a 7 day set to each of my sons.

Grant,
Beautiful display case. Question is what to fill it with, LOL? Two of each blade (one for each case) or different blades? Hmmmm...choices, choices. Whatever the case, your sons have a nice inheritance to look forward to. Beautiful Invicta too.

Beautiful razor and a nice looking razor display box.

Great pics everyone. I've fallen a bit under the weather so no shaving for me for a few days.
Anyway, happy birthday Jose and happy shaving everyone


Ps. Robert, we are hopefully still on for this weekend, health permitting of course.

Sorry to hear that buddy!
Get well soon

Wednesday
Acqua Di Parma crema da barba/Edwin Jagger DE87 with Astra SS/Vie Long E16505 brush/Art of shaving balsam

Finally got my head in the game and finished up this set, The blade on this razor was made special for me by Butch, it is a very hollow grind Damascus..
I put it in the Custom Abalone acrylics...
Now a good friend turned the brush handle for me to my specs basically "Big and Beefy"
He goes by WillN on SRP and Griz everywhere else and I have to give him a huge THANK YOU
I love the handle...
I used a 25mm Slivertip knot from the Golden Nib to top it off

The shave this morning was fantastic, something about having a custom setup all made to your own specs just makes for a great start to the day...
Yes I am bragging, but I am Grinning too...
