Got this great Dovo from John (johnmrson), he got a bunch of NOS blades a while back and put this great 13/16 in some nice scales for me at a great price. It took an exceptional edge, one of my best shaves to date!
Your hands and arms must have been aching after that honing, Blix!! But the end justifies the means, eh? Nice one!
Fantastic pic as always, Henry, but you've underdone it with the colour this time, I think!!
Love those red scales.
Aaahhh...2 on one day. Well worth the wait for these, Keith. Excellent pics!
Thanks David.
Very nice Kropp you have. I'm quite a fan of abalone scales.
Have you got the cade to perform well on it's own yet?
Your hands and arms must have been aching after that honing, Blix!! But the end justifies the means, eh? Nice one!
Hehe thanks David. With that progression it's about 15-20 laps per stone, so it's not that bad.
It's gradually improving but still some way off what I would expect from any decent soap. I'll keep swirling away!!!
Long and exhausting working day today. Sorry, no time for individual comments, unfortunately. But as always all excellent shots, my friends!

Great SOTD. How do you like the Flaschner? I wish mine were a spike, but otherwise, it's a wonderful blade!
Have a nice day,

Gorgeous Maxtom, Bela. Congratulations!
Wonderful, Marco!
Beautiful image of a stunning TI, Henry.
TOBS Jermyn Street - Semogue LE Bristle 1 - Red Point 917 - Floid Blue
A great shave today before heading out for my physiotherapy appointment.
I can tell, that after just one use, the Semougue has a real chance of becoming my favourite brush.

Wonderfully elegant shot, Luis!
Thanks, Bill. The Flaschner is a wonderful looking blade but it is nowhere near as sharp as I want it to be. I mistakenly took it as shave ready and the first shave left stubble even after 3 passes. Took it to the hones over the weekend, it's improved, but still someway off. This morning's shave still left some stubble. This weekend, it'll be back to the hones. I may have to send it to Neil if that fails....my honing skills are still at novice level unfortunately.

Nothing serious I hope, Keith. Lovely shot.
