They are a ton of fun to shave with, and the edge they take is amazing. Glad you liked the video.
I did recognize the container. I'm glad you liked the video, it's my first time doing one and the wife thinks I'm a little goofy (she especially dislikes the music, but hey I love it). Thanks for sharing the photos of Jack and Lilly, they look like their having a blast.
I really like the square collars on those pins. She's a beautiful razor :bow:

Totally agree, Grant.
This thread is very important for SRP. Members come from all over the world and like to get an impression of other countries.
Some people say it is off topic...I think it is important.

Thanks for sharing another picture with our youngest member Jacky!

Today's shave with the #50 was no exception. After a quick edge refresher on CrOx, this baby was ready for action. The concoction with Al's shave creme and the Heslinger soap produced an amazingly rich and lubricant lather, and filled the den with a complex and spicy aroma. What a prep and what a shave http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...l/thumbsup.gif. Life is good and my face is HS (Henckel Smooth):tu.

An excellent shave, the blade is super sharp but could do with being a touch smoother. I think a few laps on the Coticule before the next shave are called for.

Manhattan Monday Prep: Hot Shower with Real Shaving Creamy Face Wash Lather: MWF Face Lather Brush: King Custom Bocote Handle with TGN Black Badger 22mm knot Strop: SRD 3" Black Latigo 50/100 Razor: Manhattan Cutlery "The Celebrated" 13/16 - Still with Black Micarta for now Hone: Norton 1k bevel with help from Maxi, 4k/8k Pyramid, Conservative Pyramid, 8k finish AS: Trumper's Spanish Leather ASB: Trumper's Unscented Comments: I had been having a tough time getting this bevel set, with the big smiling wedge and a bit of a twisted spine with uneven wear. Maxi managed to get me that last 10% of the bevel that was eluding me and I polished it up for my first shave with this razor. This thing is long! It was comfortable and smooth, though I think this black badger brush could use some conditioner, because it scrubbed me a bit raw! The Noob Chronicle will go up tomorrow, as I'm beat and heading to bed. Happy Monday, SOTD Brothers!
