Slimline razor makes a nice change from my other Sheffields, most of which are choppers...an idea for a new mini-collection !

You´re welcome Michael, but I came out ok from that trade, too I still remember how good the steel felt in that one and how prestine she was... Lucky you don´t put the brush infront, you wouldn´t have seen anything, lol. That´s one large brush!

Sorry about the nicks...at least, they are symmetrical (equal opportunity side nicker you). Love that Atkinson


Micahel,
Mikael is quite the "closet" enabler, LOOOOL. Congrats on scoring a nice piece of steel.

Thanks Robert, noting serious though, only my pride got really hurt. Nothing serious

That razor´s sweet, Robert, some you don´t forgett and that, was without a doubt, one of those.

No shave today ... I´m as chocked as you guys:

Still not back home, but thought I'd drop you a quick line to see how everyone is. My shave gear that's with me here in the Med:

GFT Rose SS, GFT Coral Skin Food, Edwin Jagger travel brush
Palmolive Shave Stick, L'Homme ASB by Roger et Gallet
Puma 6/8 No 1 and Filarmonica 13 in black scales

Prep: Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Strop: Osgar restored vintage Shell Horse
Brush: Custom Silver-tip Badger
Soap: MDC
Razor: John Hassal 6/8 Near Wedge
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
Tonight I was up against a substantial 2 1/2 day growth and this wedge is one of my favorites for such occasions. I decided to take my time and have a great shave, I did 3 very slow and precise passes.
Result: This was a phenomenal shave, I'm smoother than a baby's butt, with zero irritation.
Hope you all have equally great shaves today, and thanks for all the fantastic posts.

That's one of my favorites out of all your pics Grant! There's like 10 different "whites" in that shot.
