The problem isn't so much with the plastic as it is with the very sharp cutouts right where the tang begins. They are very sharp and scratch the strop if you go to deep onto the tang. Other than that, it does just fine. The scales it is in are VERY heavy!! and at least the metal thru to the pin is good. It's that darn little monkey tail that is the real worry, it has some fractures in the plastic and looks like it could give out at any moment!! :)

You were part of the reason I went to the other site, and I just read your post today. Their loss is our gain, and I for one am glad you are on board with us.

Thanks for being part of our SOTD!!

Mike, thank you for those kind words. Much appreciated. I know Robert has been absent(bar one post) for some time now, and I just enjoy getting involved with the SOTD in the way that I do. It was unfortunate that I had to make that post over there, but it was the security issue on that site that led to it.

Yes, the Hot Club of Paris created some tasty jazz. I am glad I have company in their fan club, my friend. Thanks.

Razor: GD 300
Prep: hot water, Barbasol
Brush: no name boar
Soap: local goat milk shave soap
A/S: witch hazel
Cologne: Joop Homme
Result: A great shave

Pre-Shave: Hot towels

Brush: SRP Thäter

Razor: Brian Brown 8/8 Custom

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan

Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street

After shave: L'occitane Verdon

Results: It's been a week since last shave, a busy week with lots of work and little sleep. Got the Jermyn Street tub from Amund today and had to try it right away, I'm usually not a cream guy, but this one I really liked, great scent and a good performer, the Thäther wipped up a ton of lather in no-time in the new bowl I got on a flea marked today (it came in set with a slightly bigger bowl and together they did the job as scuttle as they where made for it :) The shave was heavenly, the BB mowed down last weeks growth like nothing, as perfect as a shave can be :D
