This is my Glock 32 in .357 Cal. with Tritium Sites. Easy to shoot, easy to clean and hits pretty hard. Small enough to conceal, big enough to get my hand onto the grip. What I use today.

Monday
The ongoing test of my Gold Dollar 66, tonight's supporting crew were a Simpson 57, Nanny's excellent hard soap "Rasage Traditionnel", Alum and Blue Stratos Aftershave.
This was shave #7 since honing and as is also typical with my "good" razors the edge no longer feels freshly honed. The shave was still excellent, as near BBS as I ever choose to go with a straight, and very comfortable. As it stands so far this blade is showing comparable performance to plenty of my vintage ones. Not bad for a cheapy
Regards
Nic

Prep: Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak / Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rub Razor: 4/8 Robeson 'Sure-Edge' fresh off the stones Hones: 100 laps 12k, Diamond, CrOx, Clean felt, leather Brush: 24mm Silvertip in American Ash Uber: Spieck & Sire Irisch Moos + VDH AS: Alum Block + Humphrey's 'Redness Reducing' witch hazel Edc: British Sterling Result: a touchup to the Robeson yesterday left me with little doubt that this small, nimble blade is a keeper. It is super keen, but smooth as well. I brought in my 8/8 Westonton to fill in if I did a poor job, but it wasn't needed. 2 pass DFS and I was very satisfied
No pic tonight, walked with SWMBO tonight after dinner and now Alcatraz!!!
Have a great Week!
