I agree 100% about Ralph Aust.I have one of his 7/8 on deck for Sunday.Have a great weekend with junior.
Thank you we're watching a movie with Will Smith on the big screen TV while eating popcorn and enjoying the soft lightly rain soaked breeze that comes in through the open porch doors. I couldn't ask for more,well perhaps for a better movie. Back to the movie.
... I find the Aust 7/8 to be a great razor too.

I've seen those mother of pearl scales before, but never on a razor of matching splendour. Could you please tell me what razor brand I'm to look for?
With the addition of a Universal shavette and the MMOC, I haven't been using all 7 of my "weekly set". The most neglected has been the Taylor's Eye Witness. Had to rectify that this morning.
7/8 Taylor Eye Witness, full hollow
Arko (17 for 17 for Arko August)
Omega 636 Silvertip
Why do I overlook this razor? Great shave as always. Almost as "effortless" as my Friodur 72 1/2 and every bit as close and comfortable.

I love the scales on your Geneva, I'm wondering about the learning curve for putting new scales on one of my Geneva's.........

This is my first post here! I'm two months into straight shaving, and I only own three shave ready razors. This is my favorite - A restored 6/8 Boker with Spanish Oak scales 
My wife actually bought it for me at an antique store. It was covered in rust, and I broke the original scales taking it apart. But I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Welcome to the forum, James. It looks like you did a nice restoration on the Boker.This is my first post here! I'm two months into straight shaving, and I only own three shave ready razors. This is my favorite - A restored 6/8 Boker with Spanish Oak scales

Thanks @evnpar ! I've been on the forum since 2012, and I lurked for at least a year before that. I'd been using DE razors for 8 years before deciding to finally try straights a few months ago. I wish I'd made the plunge earlier!
