The French Vetiver cream was a sample from Rene. Despite the fact that I didnt do a perfect job of lathering it, I like it a lot.
The Hassall wedge gave me a fantastic BBS as always.
After 2000 posts I'm finally trying to make my own razor. These 2 are my first and they are being made from an old file.
Fingers crosses I dont destroy them in the grinding process.

Have a great week gentlemen and thanks for all the great posts and pics

Good morning all;
Spring chores abound, hopefully we will not be getting any late freezes. Many plants are in full bloom and this would be bad. I shaved with a friend’s razor today to test it out. Wow, an un-believable edge. This big French blade has to be held flat during the shave. Too steep of an angle and you will cut yourself. I think the Aesop line from Australia is my all-time favorite. Have a nice week.

That is, by far, the most beautiful razor I have ever seen...
