The blade is mirror polished O-1. The "red fade" is just an interesting (and fortunate/accidental) reflection of the blood red walls of my bathroom.

I was felling a bit under the weather yesterday so I missed my traditional Sunday night shave.
To make up for it I decided to treat myself tonight.
I haven't done a Tabac Uber for a long time, and it was amazing, the W&B never dissapoints.
A fantastic 3 pass BBS

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas, some beautiful hardware on display already this week.

What a day!

Damn life can be good sometimes.

Sounds like a great day, and a beautiful photo to go with it.
