F W. Engels 9/8 One pass shave for a three day growth of beard. I had touched up my blade with a Naniwa 8K and 12K pyramid followed by Gokumyo Suehiro 20K and chromium oxide. A super shave.
I know I've seen it on here before, hence I could probably search for it... okay, I couldn't find it Would you mind sharing your 8k/12k pyramid again? Thanks.
Found it... Great thread! http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/suehiro-goyumko-20k-hone.49098/ For those interested, cool discussion on the pyramid (reply #7) and the SG20k. Hope you don't mind me sharing .
Thanks, Tom. This razor is very camera shy, and not photogenic. It’s really hard to show how beautiful this razor is via camera.
Tonight's shave was with a fine German Razor. I had a smooth 1 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Excellent razor. I wouldn't hesitate getting another, if one could be found for a good price. Razor- Dame Stoodard & Kendall. Boston. Made in Germany Brush- Stirling Boar Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Aftershave- Family Dollars "Spice"
Going with an older Wosty... Razor: Pipe razor by Geo. Wostenholm & Son’s Brush: Razorock Plissoft Bruce Soap: Razorock WTP Blue Barbershop A/S: Razorock Baby Blue Funny - went from a Wostenholm tang with every letter in the alphabet to this one. Had to take a 1/4 in off the tip but tried to mirror the old profile. And I’m torn about messing with the dyed horn scales... I dig it as-is. Enjoy your shave! Tom.
It will just keep cracking, and splitting more, unless it sealed. I've had several, that looked worse than that. I sanded, them down, then applied a lot of Cyano Acetate, to seal the scales. I then sanded, and polished them, until they look presentable.
Finally got my Tanifuji in yesterday. Decided to try it this morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Full hollow I believe. It's a nice shaver. I have 3 Wackers and like them all, a 6/8 Inox Spanish point and a Chevalier.
