In regards to hammered tangs, I know Charlie Lewis (Spazola) does them and I'm fairly certain that Bob Allman (OCD Razors) has done them as well.

Cheers!

Great looking revolver. I like old School.

The hammered tang only extends about halfway down the tang on the front of the razor. The remainder is smooth with the "HF" stamp.

Very nice.

Jamie.

Another fine day here in sunny Oslo, had almost given up on sunscreen entirely after lots of rain lately.

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood
Razor: David Issard frameback "Le Chantecler" 6/8
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Lavender Spice home brew
Notes: Perfect shave today. Could almost call it a one-pass BBS, needed a touchup/second pass below the jawline but apart from that pretty darn good. I still feel this razor has more to give tho, so I'll be bringing it to the Oslo meetup. Hopefully it will improve further



Have a lovely day people.

Gorgeous razor and photo Robert, sounds like the shave was equally fantastic.

What amazing scenery Bill, thanks for sharing with us. Keep it coming

A brilliant shave. The RW is a big and heavy brute of a blade, but it has a gentle, nimble way of mowing down whiskers that is simply great. I could shave with this thing for the rest of my days, and I'd be nothing but smiles

Beautiful razor and photo. good luck on the golf course.

Prep:Hot Shower
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN 22mm Super Silvertip Custom in E.Indian Rosewood
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle 25/50
Cream:Goodfellas Bomb
Razor: DD Wonderedge Maxterpiece
After shave: Alt-Innsbrook

Have a great day gentlemen!

Monday Shave:
After a great shave later in the day yesterday. This was a pretty cheap CBS shave. It really only required a heavy touch up to be back at CBS. Nothing very fancy here but a great Monday morning shave just the same.

Prep: Hot Water Wash
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Soap: Face lathered VDH Deluxe
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Brut Cologne, Dax High and Tight.

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: MWF
Razor: Superior Razors 5/8 Near Wedge
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
Result: After only managing 1 pass last night there was a decent amount of whisker growth to deal with tonight. This nice little wedge silently wiped it all away, and 3 passes later I'm smooth as a baby's butt. I few moments of day dreaming cost me a cut right smack in the middle of my left cheek from the spike point, but nothing too serious, a great shave.

Have a great week boys.
Grant

I honed the Superior last week and brought Mariah back to the stones to dial her in. WOW They both provided an AWESOME 2 pass shave. Rivaled with a Fili. Yes That smooth! LOL!

Two days stubble lawned down by this English brute . I also did a full shave on our boy (he has learned to use a DE and I´ve done touch ups before, but this was the first full cut throat shave ). Now we´re two very happy campers about our shaves.

Excellent choice of gear Mikael. Well done

PS: I didn't know your boy was shaving age already!! Must have been double the pleasure for both father and son. Sounds like he's off to a great start.
