Sten,
Woooooo hooooo on the vacation. And I totally understand the sentiment for wanting to have another go with this wedge. Beautiful blade for sure

Day three of the Love Fest continues. The 40 style SS to me, is like the girlfriend that you only visit after a night drinking with the boys. She's there, she's fun, but you definitely don't want to see her everyday.

David,
This requires serious measures buddy. Looks like you've gone off the deep end. One of the hold fast rules of wetshaving is NEVER to fall in love, LOOOOOOOOL.

Great photo, great gear, but then again, what else is new?

Oh yes Sir, I've learned my lession

As this one was very arc shaped, I decided to try something new with it.
Basically I did the entire honing on the side of my Chosera's. It was a bit tricky, but the results was surprisingly good. Then I finished it on a small Oozuku, using slurry, then diluting to water.

Thank you Birnando.

LOOOL on the lesson.

+100 on the honing. Well done buddy. Heal well

Perfect analogy Otto. I understand.

Where: Mountains of Colorado, near Idlewild

Simple but elegant shave for in the mountains. My new mug offers the best lather I have ever witnessed, keeping it warm by simply soaking the mug in HOT water first. It stayed warm thru 2 passes.

Beautiful and elegant "mountain" shave MJ...Great gear. Congrats on the new mug by the wife. Kudos to her as well. Idlewild is a very fun place to do mountaineering/hiking. Enjoy

Congrats on the razor. Rune is a true gentleman (I love that guy). Nice score. You did great

PS: 5 kids???? Holy cow man...You've been busy buddy, LOOOL. I nearly passed out reading this...it must have been heaven shaving without all the commotion, LOOOOL.

Beautiful tributary shave Rene. I love that BGK (BluGill Kobar). I am glad she found a good home. It was fun honing her too.
