    Looking good. I like that Cashmere knot in that handle.

    Day 30 of 30 days of Henckel straights

    I added some TOBS Rose today for a very pleasantly scented shave.

    I used the 7/8 Square Toe Henckel for my final shave in the 30 days of Henckels. This was another very good shave.

    Thanks! I think it goes well with the handle. It's so light since I'm used to solid bronze!

    Wonderful shave with the PAL Injecto-Matic this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends. :)

    First shave with the QShave Futur clone was just great. Was worried about blade flex going ATG on my head, so added one shim and compensated .5 for the added blade gap, and at 2.5 with a fresh Permasharp had no problems at all getting to as quick a BBS on my head as I've seen. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say worth the $6. [​IMG]

    VDH Luxury SS (scented)
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

    Opened the M1 up a bit and was rewarded with a fine shave. Also saw my very first brush sitting on the shelf and thought, "Let's use that one" as it's been literally years since I last used it. Probably going to be years before I do again. Anyway, nice shave and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    RyX DoH!

    First I recall hearing about shimming a blade on the Futur clone. Your idea, or did I miss the discussion?
    Glad you're happy with the razor. They are appealing with the positive reviews and dirt cheap price tag.

    Tabac After Shave

    While doing my first pass, it just didn't seem right. So after it was done, I ran my fingertips to find out if it was ok. Nada, nyet, oxi, no it wasn't, but I really didn't think I had enough shaves on that blade to change it yet. Who knows, maybe my short term memory is getting bad, or it wasn't a good blade. First time on a Personna blade though, if it was. So I changed the blade and proceeded with two passes for an excellent and really smooth BBS shave.
