    Kevin, my H. Diamond 8000 razor is also completely purple, like yours, but for some reason it distorts the purple color on the camera.

    Its tough to capture the true color on that scale material, especially under incandescent lighting. I made some hue adjustments to bring it back 'close' to reality.

    Dovo Bismarck. In a hurry this morning and danged if the Dovo wouldn't cooperate. The blade left stubble. It's lost it's edge, so to speak. I settled for a socially acceptable shave, and went on.
    I've now sent it to see Mr Franz Swaty for some "behavior modification". :D I've got enough stubble to give it another shot this evening.

    The other straight razor the barber gave me. Everytime I use a wedge I wonder why I don't use them more. Nice shave but needs a little work on the heel. Have a good one.

    I hadn't used the RazorRock Santa Maria Fiore Firenze in quite a while because when last I layered it, it was terrible... So, I tried it again.... it was ok, but it wanted to break down quickly and I found myself relathering over and over. Also, for some strange reason, it had small pieces of balled up soap or menthol or some other ingredients that were present in the lather and on my face... I know how to make a lather, I'm sure I face lathered enough. Really though, I still had an enjoyable shave... BBS all around and one small weeper on the Adam's apple.

    After a counseling session with Mr. Swaty and a good spanking with leather, the Dovo fell back in line and complied by providing a nice two pass bbs. He now goes back to first string :)

    Today's shave was with my own Blood Thirsty Razor. It has given me two of the worst cuts/gouges I've ever had, in the past. I am always hyper-vigilant when using this razor. So, I had a fantastically smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. It's one of the noisiest razors I own. Probably because it is truly an Extra Hollow Grind. Zero Cuts, Nicks, or Weepers, just smoothness. I've not seen another like this, but, for some reason, it is in my top 10 razors rotation.

    Razor- "Respect 4" Germany. Best Silver Steel. Extra Hollow Ground.
    Brush- Omega 10098 Boar
    Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Yummy.
