Its 11:30 Saturday night down here and I just finished hand sanding my latest Sheffield wedge, so its been another shaveless night for me.Grant
I just had a quick read of all the posts from today and need to say THANKYOU gentlemen for the great posts and pics.
I'm sure I'll have a shave to share tomorrow and should finally have a nice new razor in the custom builts forum this week.

Just got this off the bay. It seems like its extra hollow and reminds me of a DD special #1.
Needs a trip to the hones but it's sooo close.
Have a great weekend Fellas!

Week of August 21 SOTD - Saturday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger (Olive wood handles) Maxterpiece: 6/8" C.V. Heljestrand #32, 1/2 Hollow Ground, French Point (w/ Butterscotch Micarta Scales) Honing Regimen: Chosera 5k, 10k followed by Maruichi Nakayama Asagi (w/ Tomonagura slurry, ending with water only) Strop: 0/0/0 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather) Überlather: CarrieM "Lilac" Shave Creme + Trumper's "Rose" Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS Cologne: Penhaligon "Quercus" EdT Results: Early shave for me today (we we are hosting a "business" lunch today)...After taking the Helje for a refresh around the stones last night, she delivered an incredible shave today . But that should come as no surprise to anyone who has experienced a Swedish edge. For lather, I decided to go with a little CarrieM Lilac and a dash of Trumper's Rose. The Thäter whipped up a heck of über out of this mix, resulting in a thick and moist lather, with a wonderfully soothing floral aroma
.
Have a GRAND Saturday gentlemen.
