    An excellent shave with the Max restored Shumate and the wonderfully economic Godrej cream ($2.97) which yields a great cushioning lather and a finish with one of my favorites, the GFT Spanish Leather. And today will be better than yesterday.
    Nice choice Nathan...I would love to see that Maxterpiece of yours in a picture (sure you've shown it, but memory is not what it used to be for me, LOOOL). Also great choice with the Godrej

    Result: Nimble Delight! This is my smallest razor, but never fails to give me an outstanding shave! It is very light and maneuverable and mows whisker with ease. The Clubman AS smells like the old barbershop when I was a kid. What a great way to start the day!
    What a super shave Joe. It goes to strengthen the notion that size ain't everything. How's the scent of the SRD Vanilla? I need to get myself two things; (1) an unscented creme, and (2) an unscented soap. I wished Al made the creme, but he said that would be custom

    Being the "Psychotic Rust Annihilator" that I am, I polished it off and re-blacked the handle and spine,, I might use an older "Blacking" product that I have on the bench later, when I finish this razor up...
    I wanted to test shave this one first before I invest more time in it... I sent pics to Jim but he just couldn't make out one of the Kanji, what he says basically {Ue - Up, Above.
    Touroku Shouhyou - Registered trade mark But that bottom one remains unclear. Sorry} Many thanks to our friend in Japan, JimR for always trying to help
    Glen,
    Kamisori Karma is working for you...Congrats on a wonderful score. Hard to say from the picture, but her silhouette shows awesome curves and lines. I bet you turned her into the stunner she deserve to be.

    +1 on JimR...If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have scored my Maruka Asagi. besides, so many other help/recommendation/advice that it would take more than this thread to outline.

    Results: Found this Bali stick NOS this summer, it's a Norwegian soap that went out of production in 1978-79, which means this stick is at least that old, but it was still sealed in the original double plastic when I got it so it still had quite a bit scent left. It makes a very nice slick lather and serves as perfect cushion for the Livi, and Clubman, well it's Clubman (but since I'm a night shaver I won't be late for work )
    Rune,
    Love that Livi...especially he signature on the scales. Glad this new replacement is working better for you. Great touch. Nice score with the Bali

    Hey Books,
    The Gillette 7 O'Clock is indeed a smooth blade. One of my favorites too. Your other softwares don't look bad either ;-)

I looked at the edge and couldn't see any real damage, but could see some small pieces of leather stuck to the edge. I stropped her up this morning and she provided a very nice and comfortable shave.
    Thanks for all the great pics and posts fellas! -Glenn-
    Glenn,
    That was a close call. Good save, but sorry about the mini carnage on your strop
