New Life for an old W&B Faux Frameback
[COLOR="dark green"]W&B Faux Frameback 11/16-Col Conk Almond/Acca Kappa (ala Robert) in the DB 1.5-Ey Custom MM Silvertip[/COLOR]
Well after a long day at work I decided to take a nice long hot shower followed by a try at the freshly honed W&B that I had saved from the garbage. Great shave and very nice with the Uber I made up with the Acca Kappa and CC almond. the DB 1.5 makes mounds of lather. I'm grateful I gave this another chance at life as it was so far gone when I got it I thought it done for. Not much left of the engraving and probably not worth much but It shaves fantastic. G10 scales in black and green with a bone wedge. It has lots of pitting in it but it fits this razor. Gives it character. Someday maybe give it to someone as a first time razor. Bulletproof and holds a great edge. I have to say I appreciate the Frameback style. I find them graceful. I know some people hate em but they seem to give the best of both worlds. Part wedge/part hollow. Cuts anything but still gives allot of feedback. Anyway I hope everyone has a great Mon and I should be on my normal schedule the rest of the week!"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
