Free shipping here, so when it arrives, I'll post a photo. Now, how am I going to hone it up, Ozuku, Wakasa, Shobu, or Suehiro Gokumyo 20k.......in some ways I don't like honing brand new blades. Some pop sharp after a touch up type approach, whereas you might as well just reset the bevel and work it up till you know what the edge is. I do think it's a nice razor so I'll be resetting the bevel and finishing as normal.

That's a great price for the Dovo Flowing, bobski. Mine's easy to hone and takes an incredible edge. It's definitely one of my favorite shavers (love shoulderless thumb-notches). Looking forward to seeing yours in the "Hone of the Day" soon.

I'm the same, love my shoulderless thumb notches. My staple razor is a 6/8 Dovo Bismark (2), four TI 7/8 shoulderless, an old Grenadille, that was stainless, it also had no shoulder, and just a couple of months back I bought a Dovo 6/8 La Forme shoulderless. It has a Wakasa jnat edge on it. I have quite a few razors and only now listing them I realised my RAD issue. I always liked the Flowing, but I always pounce when things are on special, (more so for brand new stuff). You would know the ball park figure for one. Here, they don't get much below $400, so when I saw this one I grabbed it. You mentioned it's easy to hone, if you don't mind, what did you do with it?. I'm tossing up a few ways, but with the Deco spine it will be a tape job. Any ideas? Thanks Bob.

Damn that Amazon Prime day email,,,
Actually, this is something I've almost purchased many times, and didn't.

Accurate temp control up to 500C element output, as well as finite air flow control up to 120lpm.
Handy combo of controls for serious silver solder applications, or localized smiley face drawing on French toast,
(Note the maple syrup in the background)

I had to Google that Mike. Sometimes you just got to know the gory details. That is a very hot item for the shop. Silver solder without and torch marks is very nice. It makes me think of several applications.

I see what ya did there..


And for sure Shaun. No open flame, no burning, and not a degree higher than needed to make the required puddle. That's some 312'c self fluxing silver solder beside it in the picture suitable for steel, stainless, chrome and other application. Im hoping to use it to fill in my duck brush phrank gave me, as well as attempt to silver solder a cracked old beautiful blade.

3 badger knots from Shavemac for upcoming projects.

2- 24mm DO1 2 band fans
1- 20mm DO1 2 band bulb

Oh I suspect that means more cool brush pictures!
