  1. oh ok...well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad then(for me)....I don't know how to do the pics yet. Perhaps this can be my Project Of 2017.
  2. I probably should have seen this coming, but my Barbasol Floating Head is done at the re-platers, so I may have to take a slight detour to my Focus this month, once it gets here.

    I am sure these pictures are much nicer than anything I will take, so I'll let these be the first impression:

  3. I finally heard some "scraping" noise from my 65-slim(with the Wilkinson Sword blade in it)....I'll try it for a bit tomorrow, but finish with the disposeABLE if I need to.
  4. WOW! absolutely stunning. and I'm sure that plate job will last much longer then the original. What kind of back log does Sport Shaving have for plating jobs ? it seems impossible to find a good plater that isn't on a multi-month wait list.
  5. That is REALLY nice work. I'd be taking a detour too.

    Need more for SOTD
  7. Basically everyone here is trying to improve on a skill set, or learn something about products/equipment they own. So the SOTD commentary is generally related to a persons focus, or shenanigans.
  8. You should oil it.
  9. Thank you, Andrew. He originally quote me 4-6 weeks to get done, and he got the razor on January 9th. So, he basically did it in about three weeks. It definitely looks better than it did when I sent it too him.

    Also, just to clarify (in case some were wondering), I committed to this late last year, we just took a week or two to work out the details. I still consider myself good on NB17.
  10. Thanks, Jared!
  11. already did....by "scraping" I meant, I'm beginning to hear the cutting sound I should be hearing in the first place. Experimentation will continue.
  12. I know what you meant. That was shenanigans. Better get up on your toes, mister.
  13. Makes perfect sense to me.
  14. This is the un-hijackable thread. Some people post both here and the SOTD thread, some post only here. I don't do the same level of discussion on other threads as I do here, and am much less likely to dare someone to shave with something that could hurt them on other threads.
  15. Do you have a before picture?
  16. well that's nice....first day in here and already getting coached(teasing, I'm happy to be here :).
  17. Your comment sets up a good plan for me....I'll do the SOTD in , but leave the relative prose for this thread. :)
  18. That's how you know we love you, man.

  19. Here is the only one I could find.
