Congrats Tom! As far as I know, I have never gotten it but some have gotten it several times. I guess mine have sucked!

Thanks Leatherstockiings!! I looked but I guess I missed it. Cool. I didn't even know it at the time & I'm always checking to see who got it. I wonder what was going on at the time when I didn't see it?
Thanks again Leatherstockiings

It just goes to show that sometimes we forget to look because we are doing something else like outback didn't know until I told him the other day & I don't know if Tom knew he got it yesterday or if someone told him. I usually do Sunday's too but I have tried other days a time or two. I have a mint Red imp strop that would have worked well with Tom's yesterday. I'll probably use it when I use my Red Imp 132. I love the red Proraso too!
As usual, I have things going on today & tomorrow but I have started on my wedge for my Wosty shorty. Hopefully, I'll get some time later today if I get back home in time to do some more on it. it's going to look good...............I hope!

Yeah Tony, you can go here to look & I did the other day but I didn't go back far enough:

Straight Razor Place - Featured Shave of the Day

Funny............I probably could have gotten a better pic of my blade in that one too. I usually take several & pic the best one out of them but that was back in August 2014. I was feeling like stomped dog doo until Leatherstockiings showed me that. I still feel like it but it made my day to know that yeah, i have gotten it! I need to make a doctors appointment to get something for my back. I have a referral from my PCP to see a doctor about it & he told me he will be able to help me out with my back pain because he also has back problems but I need to find that paper (referral) or get another one from him. It would help me out a lot & i wouldn't be in so damn much pain!
Here's a better pic of that blade:

Finished up the heljestrand. Going to hit the hones later tonight. It's by no means "perfect" but I'm happy with it. I now have a 4/8 and 5/8 heljestrand in ivory. Time to start looking for that 6/8, 7/8 and 8/8!

Looks great! Good job on the pinning as well!

Thanks! I went really slow, and tapped it very lightly like 1000 times. Nice and snug now, can't wait to test shave!
