Hey guys,
So I just finished my first shave with my new Josh Earl 5/8 spike point razor! The thing is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect weight, balance and style. Unfortunately I didn't have much to shave so I couldn't fully appreciate the quality of this thing.
Do you guys sometime find that a 'shave ready' razor will constantly out-perform any other of your razors?
Got any pics, Dups?
Great stuff & congratulations on the acquisition!
What are you doing trying to shave with razors that aren't shave ready though?!
Don't hold back with the photo's! Show it off!
Yes!! Yes!! We need our razor porn so we can turn green with envy! :D Sounds like a great shave my man..Quote:

here's the link. The blade is absolutely fantastic!!

That's B. E. A. utiful!
It is a wedge, isn't it?
You're a lucky man.
well it sorta is yeah. I feels completely different than my dovo special or my frederick reynold. The razor feels way stiffer. I think I'm really going to like it. I like this stiffer feels, it even makes a different sound when it goes through whiskers. I think I'm gone wait until Sunday night before I shave again to give my beard time to grow. The weather is still pretty crappy here, still -25 every day.

The Dovo Special is a hollow isn't it, so it would feel different? The wedges don't make much noise in comparison. It's a great razor & that's a lovely story of how you came to get it! Enjoy a lifetime of shaving with it mate.
-25! That's cold!
That's pretty frickin cool :) Every time you shave with it I bet you'll think of her.Quote:

Can't wait till you have some growth to really mow down with it, I find that's when the wedge REALLY shines!
Cool of your grandma, too!
The only sad part about this is that I don't think I'll be able to buy any more shaving related stuff for a while hehe.
Awesome - you'll definitely remember your grandparents when you're still shaving with this razor when you're 80!
Congrats,
Mark
That's a great idea! The razor will definetly remind you of your grandma, and it's a great excuse for RAD :DQuote:
