I had a repeat shave this morning. I had a close shave yesterday with the CV H, however, although relatively close I felt it’s performance was a bit lacking compared to previous shave with the razor. As a result, I refreshed the blade using the Naniwa 12k stone. Today’s shave was more efficient as well as comfortably close. The alum report was silent and the post shave feel was just fabulous. I would say that the refreshing of the blade was successful.

I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

awesome shave and pic Joe.cool razor.

 

Thank you Jeff. It is definitely a fun process as it progresses. Time will tell. I have a few blanks of kirinite scales, Lava Flow and Storm Trooper., that I will eventually be comfortable enough will my ability to shape them. Additionally, I plan to learn how to make micarta scales.

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Wonderful looking shave Gary. Love the brush.

 

Enabling is always fun. Fabulous shave and I hope you have a great day.

 

Pass on the knock, excellent shave Paul

 

What could be better than this, one of your favorite soaps and splashes to meet up with the Artikin. Most excellent shave Joe.

 

Wonderful rattler shave Jeff.

 

Super shave and a very nice setup Gary!

 

Terrific shave Joe! Great job on refreshing the straight with your new Naniwa 12K!

 

Thanks Joe! Also, I used my favorite #1 brush also. I couldn't miss with this setup. After 8 consecutive shaves and hitting a total of 20 shaves a la focus, I am putting Artie away until next month. My next straight razor for Jumbo January will be my 7/8 Henckels Friodur.

 

thank you Joe.our Jason made the handle.

 

thank you Joe.it was very comfy.

 

Hi guys! I did an afternoon headshave. Once again, I decided to use my Mühle R102 with Cremo brushless shave cream as a preshave and Arko shave soap. I am truly impressed with using Cremo and Arko for headshaves. I am cueball smooth with very little effort. Feedback from alum was zip. After witch hazel treatment, I splashed some Stirling Bay Rum and there was not a burn. Btw, I had a Rockwell DE blade on its second use in the razor and the Hembree/Maggard Timherwolf synthetic brush to lather the Arko. Separately, Arko and Cremo give great headshaves, but working in tandem, they bring it to another level. Take care.

 

Thank you Joe

 

I thought so! I have one of his quality brushes as well which I will use tomorrow.

 

Fabulous skull shave. We can call you Skully from this point forward although my Skully brush may take exception.

 

Fabulous RFB shave, Gary! Great photos and kit!
