That is the one you snatched from David, right? Speaking of David: haven't seen him around lately. Any news?

Congrats Jeff...That's a great milestone buddy. Pretty soon, you won't even rely on the DE

PS; Everytime and see or hear about a Schumate, memories of our late fellow member (and friend) Mark (aka, Blugill) come flooding in. It was one of his favorite razors.

Birnando,
Beautiful gear and shave my friend. Now, as an AJ owner, I no longer need to be envious of yours, LOOOOL. Although, a Damascus steel is something that will be on my radar screen (maybe when gets around to making one, LOOOL...no pressure there!! or another AJ perhaps)

Awesome Kalerolf...That 1/4 grinder looks amazing. And the Bomb sure sounds out of this world ;-)

+1 on the Vetiver Joe. Have it and Love it. I guess I will have to put the AOS creme in my basket of wish list. Thanks buddy

T.,
Those Bismarcks sure can deliver...even with a "partial" edge. Have fun honing her up.

Hog maestro,
Love the selection, honing regimen and experience. I was looking forward to some comic relief though (oh well, maybe next time).

Interesting Paul,
If Max had integrated some miniature GPS tracking device with each razor he restored or made, imagine the fun we'd have with tracking these real time (maybe integrated with Google map). Oh man...the possibilities. But I guess that would constitute invasion of privacy, LOL

Great shave, the Culmak gives a lovely slick lather.

Sounds like a nice soap Nic. Is it Artisan or other?

I love it when new members join after lurking...It's a great feeling indeed.

Thanks for the kind words buddy, but it's not just me...it's the collective that draws the interest.
