  3. Thanks Blair! I usually like to get square points, but this was an easy buy, especially when you buy it from a reputable company. Months ago, I bought a brand new 6/8 Spanish pt Ralph Aust from them and was satisfied with their service.

  10. Thanks, Joseph. I am as well. The only other razors that I would want to add is the previously mentioned Filarmonica and one day a custom razor. However, if I don't get those razors, then it's ok because I am happy with my collection as is. I am not the type that needs 100's of straight razors.
  11. Thanks Joe, I agree it will negligible but it will be a fun little experiment. We did get dad moved and he was glad to see me when he got there. We have been talking about this for a week but he did not remember. He had some confusion and understandable so. I was real pleased with the staff tonight so I think everything will work out for the best. It is just a big adjustment for everyone.
  12. Thanks Blair, it is tough but we will get through it.
  13. Congratulations on the new razor! I cannot wait to see it.:happy093:
  14. Awesome shave !
  15. Awesomeness Mark!
  16. Thanks Joe. The safeties during the week are just a July thing. August I'll be back to just straights for a while.
  17. Thanks, Andrew.
  18. Saturday shave: I went big today, a Mike Martinez 9/8 blade with a wickedly sharp edge. The CF and big soft Omega worked great together. Very smooth but some feedback as I go to aggressive going for an epic shave.

    Razor: Mike Martinez Karasu 9/8
    Strop: Roo
    Brush: Omega silver tip
    Pre: Proraso
    Soap: Castle Forbes
    AS: Proraso AS
    Scent: Dior Cologne Royal
