    This is my first razor from him since he started using the Escher stone. The edge looks amazing. I look forward to using it tonight. Will definitely keep you guys posted on the results

    Congratulations!!!

    You're in for a treat, I'd forgotton about his Escher and mentioned that the edge on a blade was especially "velvety", and he said yes, it would be the Escher, i could definitely tell the difference.

    Ps. Thanks to JoelL for the excellent term, "velvety".

    Man, I've never really desired to go to Canada up until recently. I would love to be able to have a cup of coffee with the two of you. All the information I could absorb would be amazing. Any way you guys would consider vacationing here in Los Angeles.

    The exact same blade... But seriously neglected. She's polishing up nicely now and hopefully the finish will be just as wonderful as yours (although likely not quite as wonderful). Always rewarding to save blades of this calibre!

    Hey Phrank,

    It shaves amazingly. Had to be very mindful of the pressure i put because the blade is as heavy as it is I found myself having too much pressure on the blade. Caught myself doing it very early in the shave and came out with a great result. Loved it.
