Rene,
A RAD is a RAD regardless of how you justify it or disguised it, LOOOOOOL. But, the one you're on is a "mission critical" RAD. Happy hunting

Beautiful blade Mikael...TI factory edges are pretty darn sharp indeed. Personally, they are too sharp for my taste...I dial mine back a little and smooth them out before use.

WOW! What a gorgeous blade, Robert! I hope you keep it locked-up at night

Thank you Rum. I take it your brother is a fan of Bladerunner the movie (maybe)? It's one of the best SciFi movies of all time. Please convey my thanks adn appreciation to your brother

Haaaaa...the blade isn't locked up (yet), but maybe I should consider it!! Hmmmmmm (thinking)

You know it brotha...Dreamy shave for sure. The scent alone paralyzes all senses

Results: What is there to say? A half hour of pure bliss. The Domenico is quite simply the best of all soaps or creams out there, IMO. I am very much ready for a fine day and evening.

Have a grand old time with friends Birnando. And what a fabulously special shave to prep for this event. Beautiful hard- and software choice. Well done buddy

Kalerolf,
Never heard of the "Rakete" brand either, but she sounds like she took on a nice edge. Congratulations on an interesting buy. Any other info on the back tang, etc...?

At the very least, your family can get to experience some top notch cooking. Great adventure you must have had for the past year. I envy you brother. Very nice...you really went outside your comfort zone. I like that a lot.

I like to go all out sometimes and do the full 3 course post shave treatment on the head.
A very satisfying shave.

First class head shave Grant. Enjoy the near BBS feel.

A nice smooth comfortable shave the oil and hot towel combined with the super lather got approval from #1 critic my wife.

Comments:The hot towel is the best preshave that I can know, no other product can beat it. For the summer, an oil as aftershave could be too grasy, but this light oil of Martin de Candre applied in a very small quantity is very good.

Yeeaaaaaaaaah José,
That's what I'm talking about buddy. Wonderful cast of characters today. +1 on MdC Copra Oil...I love that stuff.

I agree Monroe. Cella is an unassuming, but first rate product. Well done

So i was being funny saying there family razors and im just retrieving them. See im not buying more razor just getting my GGF razors back. LOL!

Now, do I know you or do I know you, LOOOL? Hmmmmm, come to think of it, the 15:1 odds I gave you was a little too conservative. Didn't even last a week, LOOOOOL
