Beautiful, Jamie. I take it that is a western double bevel with a typical Japanese bevel angle of 15° each side?

Thanks, Mark, the knife has been in constant use since I received it, it's a fine slicer.

Dropped through my letterbox yesterday.



I use my safety razors as part of my rotation to get some experience with them for if I stay in a hotel etc. and I've tried a few different blades thanks to Jerries (Gasman's) generosity.

I've decided that Nacet are my go to so ordered 100.

They are great blades. I bought one of those 100 packs a while back.

I told SWMBO I wanted a Wall Clock in my room. She asked what kind and I told her to surprise me. But I don't need numbers on my clock and I don't want digital. So she got me this...



I love it!

Jerry, doesn't get any more basic than that.(I don't think you really need that minute hand though.)

That would make it a bit harder to figure without the minute hand. Now if i was retired...

A Christmas present from my daughter.

Not really a shaver and she knew that. It was more for display than anything. I thought I would mount it in a shadow box and hang it on the wall.
She loves me.

Bengal in faux tortoise horn


It was advertised as 7/8 which I could tell by the pictures it was not. Turns out to be 11/16 but I don't have any Bengals so I bought it anyway. No bites, chips, delamination or cracks in the horn and no big deep pits or hone wear to speak of. Should clean up nicely.

Hope that edge cleans up OK Paul.
Bengall razors I would rank with anything else out there.
