Hi Jack,
Which Toyo Sheön Burg is this? Looks like the 665 frameback (I think). They are amazing shavers. Great choice

Yes it is a Sheon Burg 665, recently purchased from SRP member mainaman. Yes they are amazing shavers. I always seem to get a two pass BBS shave with absolutely no razor burn even with little prep. This and my Missile 58, also Japanese, are undoubtedly my best shavers.

Comments: Today is the birthday of my son (11). We have been all day at the beach, but now we come back home (Pyrenees, high mountain). A special day with a special shave. TOBS made a good lather and Timor was excellent.


Have a nice day.
Angel.

Dominic, yep it's the 1/4 hollow from JimR but it feels 'hollower' than that when shaving i.e. more flexy than say a European 1/4 hollow...but I need to shave with it more and hone it myself for a real apples and apples...btw I had my eye on the King of Heart, just a coin flip between the two

LOOOOL. Sorry Mikael, didn't mean to compete with you buddy, but the final size was decided by Rodney (I guess based on how the handle turned out). I specified 26/55, but this is what I ended up with...Not that I am complaining though, LOOOL.

GI,
Beautiful razor (I am partial to the sexy, shoulderless look). There's nothing menacing about her, imo.

Angel,
First and foremost: HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY to your son. The Pyrenees are absolutely stunning mountain ranges. I haven't been in a very long time. Of course, that's one of the toughest stretches for the Tour de France.



Second; Great shave with the Timor

Rune,
Firstly: Congrats on your 1st day without ciggies...That's a great accomplishment buddy. keep it up brother...When the urge starts to get the better of you, resist it. I have never smoke in my life, but I can imagine how hard this must be.



Secondly: I love that shave. Anything combined with the Helje will result in a fabulous shave. Those blades are hard to beat.

Fantastic I quit a little over 3 years ago and wish I had done it sooner!

My top tip is: Don't look on it as as depriving yourself and making a sacrifice, if you forever see it as a forbidden pleasure then sooner or later temptation will get the better of you, instead treat it as a positive thing, regaining health, wealth and control.
