That's Great News Carl! It's nice to hear good news.
Had a semi-fantastic shave this morning with my Joseph Rodgers "Damascus Temper" (whatever that is) frameback. I cut myself 2x by not concentrating on what I was doing. This heavy blade on light stubble takes and extra gentle touch.

Very nice, near BBS, Tuesday morning shave! The 5/8 is a nice change of pace razor from the 6/8s I prefer and use most of the time.
This pre-production version features a hand ground, double hollow grind blade of S35VN.

Love the Vetiver from SRD! It mixed fantastic with the TOBS Rose cream. I wasn't sure about this one but boy was I wrong! The razor I redressed months ago but had never gotten around to honing it up until this past week.. Had a bunch of time on my hands with the army..:w What a fantastic edge it took. 2 pass DFS. This chopper was junk when I got it. Full on active rust and scales that were more gone then there. Have a great day all!

Gave the face a few days rest but now we're back at it.

Results: this was only my 2nd time with the Maxtom. but in some ways it was my 1st as the last time I had my little man shaving along side me. this beast melted the 3 days or so growth from my face with ease. it is so comfortable in my hand as Max delivered exactly what I requsted.
