Beginner tip of the day: DO NOT put the razor on top of the ear when going for the sideburn elimination IT HURTS AND BLEEDS ;-)

Welcome to SOTD (and SRP) Racinggreen. Kudos for sticking with it. It only gets easier and better. Keep rocking. However, putting the razor on top of the ear????? Holy cow man...what were you thinking, LOOOOL?

PS: Eagerly following your progress

Oh brother...I don't blame you for feeling the way you did Jamie. Sorry to hear about the disaster, but don't worry mate, there will be other (and better) ones to be had in your collection (and restoration). Nice shave though

Razor: Devin Thomas Custom, 6/8", Feather Damascus, French point, Fozzilised Mammoth bone
Results: The Devin Thomas razor was my most challenging hone job to date. I'm glad I stuck with it though, because it now shaves with the very best of them. And it seems to hold that edge very well

Oh man....now, I wish I was there. Have fun Birnando. I am sure everyone will be too busy salivating all over your collection, including this beautiful DT razor. Congratulations on both the purchase and the honing. Enjoy the meetup brother.

You da man, man. it's a funny thing with this brotherhood. Something happens to one of us, it happens to the rest of us. This is how connected I feel we have become.

A beautiful razor Grant. Nicely done brother

Result:2 passes with the Engelswerk this morning is all that was needed. The MDC provided a phenomenal lather with an ultra smooth creaminess that only it can provide.

Glenn,
Beautiful match up between the Thäter and MdC...Two top products for sure. Nice razor to finish the job.

Beautiful Johnson Tom. But is that the Muhle brush you were talking about recently (or am I imagining things)? Very nice

You seem to have quite a nice collection of French and Italian razors. This Livi is no exception, I am sure. Well done
