Razor: Stainless steel Feather DE

Your hands are still troubling you, I see. Is there any hope for you to return to the straight razor, or are you going to have to continue enjoying the pleasure of the DE for the foreseeable future? I have seen an alarming number of your beautiful razors up on the classifieds.

Hello jdto:

Yes, the hands are not working as well as they used to. During the week I shave with the double edge. The straight is reserved for the weekends. I have this weekend planned: Saturday's shave will be with a 1/4 hollow Le Grelot with a thumb notch. Sunday I'll have the pleasure of soaring with my Robert Williams 7/8 Spanish point and white bone scales — what a gorgeous razor.
And, yes, I've had to sell some of my razors so that other gentlemen can enjoy them, since I am limited these days. One of these days I should be able to get back on the straight razor horse — I hope.
Stay well, my dear friend, and thanks.
