Thread: Sun August 21st - Sat August 27th

Been miserable all day but was brightened up by a lovely shave this afternoon.
A few strokes on a balsa cro-ox and followed by a good stropping on my Scorcher Shell Horse strop (even though it's well used it still performs) gave a lovely smooth finish.

Hope everyone has a great weekend (and a peaceful bank holiday for us folks in the U.K.)

Ben,
Wowww...BBS of 11. That must be something. I must learn the trick from you. My best edge from the Coti is a 9

Now this is more like it. This edge was totally unmuddy and completely crisp. My stubble was effortlessly mowed down during two passes culminating in a CBS shave.

Congrats GI...that blade deserves nothing less

What a nice restore Tim. Especially if it was your first. First class. Congrats

PS: I hope you guys are safe from the wrath of Irene

Ouuuchhh Yorkie,
Those clouds look very menacing indeed. But, congrats on at least salvaging an otherwise gloomy day with a great shave. Enjoy your holiday

Thank you buddy. Max did wonders with this one (and every other piece). I am going to suggest that this forum underwrites Max and take him IPO, listing him in NYSE, under the symbol of MAX. I would be a very rich man, LOOOOOOL.

Thanks Robert! I've had that blade sitting around for awhile now and I finally got around to making some scales for her. I used the broken original scales as a template for these. I just modified the base materials!
I'm in the middle of the state and all we got was wind and rain (still pretty amazing when you consider that I'm 3.5 hours from the coast!)

Looool Then I make him teach little children, in some third world country, to make scales for pocket change and I get even richer. Lol
