Very nice Jason!

 

I agree. I don't mark my DE's to remind me how many shaves on a blade or write it down.

 

saturday sneak peek..

 

Thanks, Jason. I didn't measure the exact amount of water I added, and I don't use an eye dropper like one fellow does on another forum. Perhaps I should, so if anyone wanted to replicate this technique, they might have a starting point.

 

what type of water do you use Joseph....lather looked awesome..

 

Very nice, Jason. Those Old Types'll do a number on the sensitive areas of your face if you aren't careful.

 

Because Central Indiana has some of the hardest water in the country (see graph) we have a whole-house water softener.

 

very cool Joseph.vancouver has some of the softest.even modern williams builds an extremely nice lather here..

 

We're at 21 grains of hardness and use a water softener to help. South Adams is currently upgrading and we should be down to 7 grains by February.

Jason, I agree! I would think about the BBS, but I already have so many great shavers that it would be counterproductive. It's received many excellent reviews. My Lupo is an excellent shaver as well. Of late, I've only been using the safety razors on my dome. My focus now seems to be straight razors. I traded a fair number of safety razors for straight razors, but I actually bought two vintage razors recently. I have enjoyed building an edge on these razors. I'll probably buy a new modern artisan straight at some point, probably sooner than later. I do enjoy this hobby.

 

Joe there's always distilled water. Different strokes! I don't like smelly soaps. Enjoy your day.

 

That is one nice Auto Strop, Gary! I really enjoy mine! Have a great shave!

 

if someone were to replicate an all brass, machined base plate, triple plated 3 piece razor like the 40s brit new rfb long comb ,what do you think it would cost and the the end consumer price would be?

 

thank you Jeff.the blade alignment is spot on with this one.no visible issues.

 

ah yes hard water..careful Joe,it's a slippery slope..thats why everyone went to carts and canned goop..

 

I will indeed Joe, thanks.

 

I rather drink it than shave with it.

 

just arrived.a cool british soap.subtle green apple and other stuff..nice.. made in England,exclusive to Kent of Inglewood.Canada..
