Thanked: 146Tuesday

Razor: Fried. W. Engels "Perfect Temper" 11/16" Square Point

Result: After seeing Roberts example of this wonderful razor, I spotted this beauty on the bay. It came to me a little rough, but I polished it up and honed it to shaving bliss! What a wonderful relaxing 3 pass shave! SSS. Also got a new camera, nothing great but it takes good macro shots. Been busy with the fall weather and winter soon upon us here, But I have been lurking. Great Posts and pics Guys!

Thank you Robert. I think i only have a hand full of true 8/8. 2 that are a hair over but more of the 7/8 to under 8/8 range. How many in total i havent counted. Usually because i loose track or i keep finding them i diff spots around my room. One day i will have to count them. We need a softwear that we can cataloge our razors.

First i would like to thank Robert for telling me to hone this Bow razor up. WOW! I hone her up all the way through a Nagura progression but found her to be Dull so i redid it. This time jumping from Norton 8k to shapton 16k then crox. SWEET 2 pass shave. Man she's sharp. No irritation. Ogallala day for me.
Funny i have been using Big razors lately and when i used this it felt like."Awww She is a cute little razor" LOL!

A nice Geneva and a cute little coti arrived today. Did my usual honing progression up to 8k, then finished with 70 laps on the hybrid side of the coti. Happy to report my finest coti edge to date, very sharp, yet smooth. The hybrid side leaves an awesome finish.
Looking good for celebrating my sons 11th birthday later tonight.
