Have a great week everybody!
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Monday
Razor | De Pews| Cream | C O Bigalow| After Shave | Tabac
Shave Of The Day take 2. I couldn’t leave the razor alone, so after applying three layers of tape again (in the hope of creating s secondary, thinner bevel) I did a pyramid of 20/20/, 19/20, 18/20 etc on the Norton 4/8 (to 1/20) and then 20 on the Shapton 16k. The edge was much improved. Interestingly, the warp was not as apparent (as gauged using a magic marker on the edge).
It was not a perfect edge, so now I have three choices:
1) Live with it
2) Send it to onimaru to be honed, or
3) Sell it.

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Option 4) Send it to me and I will dispose of it for you.
Do not worry Oz with it, he is very busy with mine right now.
Problem solved.
ps. Where do you get Tabac AS? Cannot find it here.

Well i wasn't going to shave today ( Public Holiday ), but i was bored, so decided to see if i could manage to use this little beast without slicing my face as usual.
I decided to strop it up, then use a tip i was given and that is to run the very tip of the point along the underside of any window sill ( problem solved, great shave, no cuts )
