    Have you tried just taping an injector in place on the tray? That works ok on my Christy. Unfortunately not as much compression here as on the Mark Cross to keep the blade from floating.

    Thanks! I'll need to find more about it. My only concern is the bent screw on the back side and that I paid $50 for it....

    My NOS Yellow Lake Branded Finishing Oil Stone Arrived in the Post Today..The Stone was Factory Lapped Flat & Chamfered..I Lapped it Smoother with 350, 600 to 1000 Grit with Wet & Dry..Took Me all of 5 Min..As You Can See this Stone is Ultra Smooth & has a Glass Like Finish & Feel to it..;)

    Some Guys have Been Shot in Flames for Comparing this Stone to an Escher Thuri in Some Forums..Some Guys have Suggested its Not Fit for Finishing Razors at All..Well..I Happen to Agree with this Sellers Take on this Yellow Lake in the Link Below..:p

    I Reckon this Yellow Lake when Properly Prepared has Around the Upper End of a 12 K/15K Finishing Capacity Akin to My Escher Thuri..I Plonked Down a 12 K Naniwa Super Stone Pre Finished Edge on the Yellow Lake with Oil..The Yellow Lake Picked Up the 12 K Edge & Ran with it Refined it Away Beyond the Naniwa 12 K..No Problem..I Done around 100/150 Sets on this Stone..Job Done..:eek:

    This Myers & Sons Sheffield Razor was Popping Hanging Hairs Straight from the Stone..This Razor Provided Me with a Lovely Shave Straight from the Stone without Pastes when I Test Shaved it..I Happen to like to Finish on Pastes..My Preference..So I Hit it with 7 Sets on 0.5 Chro/Ox..:)

    The Edge from the Yellow Lake is as Smooth & Keen as the Edges from My Escher Thuri & My Arkansas Surgical Black..This Particular Stone I have is a Superb Finishing Hone..My Sheffield has Taken a Superb Shaving Edge from this Yellow Lake Stone..Its a Keeper for Sure..:D

    Good Stink! The missing label one is Acqua, small issue with leakage that's been taken care of. Acqua is wonderful, my daughter and wife love it.

    RazoRock XXX EdP blows away the $100 bottle of AdP I have. Out of the water.

    I sprayed on XXX at around 6pm last night, it's now 5:15am and I can still smell it, not as robust but it's present.

    Very nice. I love the scent of XXX but don't have a matching aftershave/cologne to go with it. This is going on my short list. Thanks Kerry

    Another fantastic haul. IB has hit a big time home run with the new ZCENT.

    Nothing earth shaking. Just a bottle of Nivea Cool Kick aftershave balm. I figured for 3,00$ CAD why not?

    So I went to the fleamarket this morning and came across this. The blade container/bank I've never seen before. The SS is pretty gunked up on the bottom so I'm not sure what year it is. Total cost, $23. Time for some cleaning!
