Sadly not spalted, just zebrawood. But just for you MLA, my next set of scales will have extra spalted goodness Originally Posted by mapleleafalumnus

This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Yes, and there were a lot of new-fangled developments from about the 1880's onward. They first of them were variations of a straight on a stick. Kampf and others like Henckles "WOTAN" and many others like Star and Gem, etc. made minor changes to get around the patent laws of the times. They used mainly hollow ground on both sides of the blade or the equivalent of a section of straight razor and had differing methods of holding it in place and other methods of honing and stropping a blade. Then around the turn of the twentieth century, the better quality of mass produced thin steel made more and cheaper possibilities available to the common man. Originally Posted by Firefighter2

This was a great way to start the work week! I decided to go with a product I hadn't used in a very long time, so I broke out a sample of what I believe to be Rose & Cedarwood Mike's Natural Soap. It paired nicely with the Manchurian badger haired Rover. Once I'd built a nice, thick lather, I took the Fontana for a spin around my face. I hadn't shaved in a few days, so it had some good growth to contend with, but the Solingen ground steel never noticed. In two passes (plus touchups), I was left CBS. After a small splash of Lucido, I was ready for the finishing touch. The Knize Ten fit the bill nicely!
Paired with my SOTD setup here today are some new cufflinks I picked up yesterday they are roses made out of a gold mesh. I've also included a piece from my newest hobby of photography. I hope you gentlemen have a wonderful day!
