    Have a fantastic week Gentlemen.

    I love this Joseph Elliot Best Silver Steel "Rangoon" razor! Great shaver. My face still smells like Madam Scodioli's "Briny Deep." Now I'm off to preach! Hopefully I'll smell good that people will stay awake :O

    Razor – American Knife Co. – Plymouth Hollow, Conn.
    Brush – E-Shave Persian jar
    Soap – Al’s SAIGON
    Oil – Al’s Saigon Pre-shave oil
    AST – ALUM
    Toner – AESOP Parsley seed toner
    EDT – AESOP Marrakech


    I honed this up for a buddy. I did use one layer of tape due to the spine configuration. The shave was excellent not as stiff as a frame-back. I did use one layer of tape due to the unusual spine configuration.
    At first I could not figure out why they would design a “fuller” or “blood groove” the length of the blade. When you shave the soap piles up in this groove and is re-distributed while you shave. I guess you could call it a “soap groove”. G-10 Scales by DirtyChrome are balanced for this unique blade profile. Have a nice week.

    No Shave Today, but I'm impressed by those shown by others...

    He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
