Thank you Danny

 

Hey Dave @Dave in KY .

 

Wow, Danny! Maybe I should have sent the clock to him!

 

Thanks, Danny! I’m doing my best to keep her in the dark!

 

Thanks Danny!

 

The one guy that specializes in selling cheap Chinese razors honed exclusively on not so funny shaped flat hones has a whole boxload of failures up on an ebay salvage sale.

My only one honed up well. Here is the vid



I got some bent up Frenchies and wiener schnitzels that won’t have any trouble relating either.

 

Dave, attach a picture of the bottom side of the baseplate less handle please.

 

Another great video, Bill! I know that some of the professional honors are not fans. But whatever works best for each of us!

 

Not at the house yet but here's the best 2 of it. Probably not what you want but all I have till it arrives.

 

Thanks..that's what I needed.

 

Thank you, Danny!
Omega has so many synthetic knots anyway:

Their original “S” brush

The Hi-Brush (I’ve never heard anything about this one really)

The Evo

Now, this Roma brush.

If the new Roma knot is like the Trafalgar, I’ll be a happy camper.

So starts another week with the Yutes. This week presents another final event leading up to the acceptance into the MOLC-the final formal observation. It is kind of nice not giving a rats arse. Yet, I know it will be another bang up job by yours truly.

This morning’s shave featured the 1508.5 Project and the assistance of the MMBT. As many of you know, the MICROMATIC is a highly efficient razor. I almost always get a BBS and today was not an exception. I closed out the shave with a nice Spanish splash, the Floid Genuine. Just prior to heading out the door I took a few hits of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male. Smelling and looking good.

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

Awesome shave to start the day and week Joe

Razor 1: Fuzzy Catcher
Blade 1: Gem (2)
Razor 2: SHaDE Tech
Blade 2: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Mr.EE LE
Soap: Baron's Choice
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Skin Bracer
Fragrance: Dragonsbeard

Got the knot set back in the Mr. EE Limited Edition Handle and it's staying put now. Silicone did the job without needing epoxy. Love the heft of this solid aluminum handle. Went with the pleasant scent of Baron's Choice for a great lather.

As you can see we had 2 razors listed. 1st up was the Fuzzy Catcher which is a 3d printed lather catcher. Did my with the grain pass and could tell it held the blade secure. It has a good angle to make it actually feel like the original for me. It was a tad more aggressive feeling though. I think tis was that the blade was difficult to get into the slot for the blade stops and was sitting just above the slot. Also the pronounced blade stops where uncomfortable as the were substantial. That may be needed to secure the blade but it makes it uncomfortable to me. All in all though a cool print of a piece of history.

I decided to use my rough draft of a SHaDE razor for pass 2 and 3. SHaDE stands for as I'm told (Single edge Half a DE blade) I didn't come up with the idea but the few I've seen were cool and I wanted to try my hand a making one. This shaved exactly as expected from using a single side of a tech razor. The half a blade still retains a strong clamp on it for a comfortable shave. This although an ugly razor as I chose a cheap and rough specimen for the experiment. This was too prepare for another that I have been wanting for some time. Should have held on to my Raise Flat Bottom razor I sold and have wanted another. I haven't been willing to pay the price of the ones I've seen that were in need of replating due to wear. I saw one pop up on the bay for $20 with a broken tooth on the end. PERFECT candidate for this modification. I get the shave from a RFB razor at a steal of a price and a "one off" in looks. Who else in their right mind would do that to their RFB razor ? Well unless they broke a tooth on one too.

A long work day today but I'll get thru it as I think about my taxes are done and I'm told to expect a hefty return this year. WooHooooo !! Have a Stupendous Day everyone !!

 

Marvelous Monday shave Joe! It's nice to know that your observation really is just a formality. Have a great day!

 

Happy Monday Joe. Great photo and shave.
