I jumped up and ran out and down the road ( about a quarter mile) by the time I got there, the driver was out and considering the severity of the wreck, relatively unscathed. Turns out it was a friend of the families daughter, thank God she will be OK. I live in the country and all the neighbors came out, one is a nurse so she took good care of the girl until the ambulance showed up. Joe

Wow that is scary. Glad she is ok.

When I got the Red Imp it was NOS in the original package, factory edge. I shaved with it a few times but the edge was rough. I finally felt comfortable enough to put an edge on it. I surprised myself with a nice edge.

Beautiful razor Jeff!

Did you raise your cross at the mirror?

Inspired by Carl's Madame Scodioli purchases I tried it out. I must say it's very nice indeed!
The blade was a cheeky little purchase off the bay which, with a decent hone, performed to order.

Is that 'Boheme' soap? if so, the combo (soap and AS) is the same I use. I LIKE the soap, but I'm obsessed with the AS. I've never FELT an AS like this.
It was Béla (Fonthunter) that inspired me, so we've both got him to thank, and of course also the Madame herself!

A truly international cast of characters on my fifth wedding anniversary. It all started with the Made in the U.S.A. 8/8 damascus razor with brass wedge dressed in pre-ban elephant ivory which soon took a tour through Europe. The strop hales from Norway; the soap from Spain; and the brush from Portugal. The aftershave is Japanese and the smell-good comes from France. I feel like a new man!
