B-day is not till next week but I ordered a beautifully restored Frederick Reynolds In Horn from our good friend and member Karlej. "Karl at Mainely Straight Razors". I was wanting something different and this razor with a slight smile and being an almost full wedge instead of a full or half grind like all my others is surely different. Got my first shave with it tonight. Feels different and you don't really hear it cutting. You can feel the whiskers cutting but no sound like what I normally hear. The shave wasn't completely comfortable as I'm not used to it yet but I can surely see its not like my others. Thanks Karl for restoring such a beauty.

Also got 2 ZY Razors to practice honing on so I don't ware mine down more than I need too.

Got them with different colored scales so I can tell them apart. Figured I'd just run them on the edge of my hone then start honing.
Still waiting on the Clubman and another fragrance I ordered. I have to buy my own gifts for B-day so that I get what I want. Then show the wife what she bought me. I don't get stuff I don't want or need this way. Of course I still have to buy her gifts myself. Been with the same woman for over 20 years so at least I know how it works.
