The only way to settle all this madness is to have a weigh-off. Person with the heaviest razor collection wins!

BTW your lucky this time Cheetah - were that Hargreaves not doing its best wave impersonation I woulda been all over it ;)

Im not worried. My mentor Sharpton or Wullie will take care of it for me. That is not a wave. It tis but a simple scratch.

Hopefully sooner than later. I sent an email with pics to my favorite restorer onthis site and he never got back to me. So i have to reach out to other restorers and figure out my next move. Luckily my facial hair takes forever to grow. So no worries there. I have to say that i do get discouraged with the wait time to get blades back though but what can you do. I can sand to my hearts content but i dont have any fjnishing equipment so back to square one i go.


Cheetah

HAR! I knew it was you! Another boat anchor! You would scare hell outa any restorer!
Nice Hargraves! You deserve it! :rock:

Mail a couple of guys and get a couple of blades going!

That is a honey of a razor for sure.

One of these days I'll find one of those big smiling wedges with a barber's notch for myself. Until then I'm going to live vicariously through yours.

Get to shaving with them man, you won't regret it.

Thanks for the positive vibes man. I have 2 mentors that i will reach out to this weekend and see if we can get something going.

The Hargraves came in a while back so today was the first day that I had free so I sat down and watched Conan and the Office tonight and did my 180/220/Mothers polishing routine. it looks good to me. Sorry I forgot to take before pics.

Sooooo, gooser. What you are saying is it is safer to hone and shave than to overpolish?
