Results: This (rare) Bismarck, dressed in Ivory Micarta, is yet another one of those scores I was lucky enough to make from a memberhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. She arrived the same day as the W&B I featured yesterday. She was shave ready, but reset the bevel with tape and took her through the same regimen as my W&B. She took an amazing edge in no time. Test hairs (courtesy of my wife...Thank you honey :)) barely had a chance to touch her edge before popping. This morning, I coupled her with the Arlington line of software and M&F brush. Another rewarding shave:y. Now, I am ready to face my students and torture them with a 3 hour lecture on Application of Advanced Molecular Techniques in Pathology. Uurrghhh!!! It's going to be a long day :cry:. |
