    I don't have a photo because I had a friend as a guest stay over for the weekend and he brought his wade and butcher for me to shave with. It was about a 6/8 with G-12 green scales by non other than Glen Mercurio ( gssixgun). What a nice shaver

    6/8 JBF Champlin this morning, and an excellent shave. Vitos classic for a nice tallow=y rich lather, almond scent an' all of course. and the SOC I'm liking a lot better with the shortened loft. An excellent way to get the week started...

    Union Cutlery SPIKE…I was gushing on about this razor in my SOTD post. :o The razor reminds me VERY much of those other fine Amercian blades (C-Mon, BBrummel & DublDuck). Takes a great edge and shaves oh-so-smooth. I may have to seek out more SPIKES just to see if it's qualities are brand-wide and this razor isn't an anomaly.

    I have several American Razors and all of them shave very well amazing me each time I use them. Clauss, T Noonan, Robeson, Case Red Imp. The Clauss razors are a step above a good shave

    I thought my razors required a blood sacrifice.

    I think we have the same Revisor except for scales. It's all in the outdoor lighting.

    Excellent shave this morning off the Apache Red. Have a good one. I wasn't paying attention and got a pretty good nick on the chin, no excuse for poor technique.
