This razor makes me happy, one of the best I've used, that has came out from Solingen. I think I damaged my GEM, when buffing/cleaning it , the SE blade is kind of loose. On the other hand I did buy a lot of new GEMs and SEs day before yesterday

This was the maiden voyage for the SRP razor. Mr. Williams did a great job on these, my first custom razor and it's the thickest grind I have. I stuck to basics with the Mitchell's, it's my standard, go to soap. The scuttle is new to me as well, wish I had picked one up long ago! The shave was really smooth, WTG and XTG. Another first for me was the smile to the blade, but it seems to make the razor friendlier and more forgiving. The Ogallala, another favorite of mine, subtle scent with some soothing oil to it. Overall, a very nice, smooth and irritation free shave!

Mephisto, is that a molcajete you're using as a lather bowl? That's pretty clever!

Well, not that fancy. It is just a salsa bowl.
