    I’m a sucker for a smile, thumb notch (even a small one), tight bottom jimps, round point, 6/8th, and ivory. Definitely good that it provides a great shave as well... :happy102:

    This specific model of Japanese frameback has always caught my eye, especially when it is in as nice a shape as yours Steve.

    @TestDepth -- had a couple of them at one time probably sold them to buy archery equipment, lol. I got a thing about longbows.

    Atlas, a 6/8 Jwest with a 3/4 grind. My first two attempts to hone this razor were failures. I finally got a decent edge on it.

    Jamie, I thought that Spice Bomb was a Jobo film processing drum when I first saw the image! Lol, another world...

    The tail of two Salamanders. Each one was honed and prepared the same. However, the Our Wedge is sharper.

    Not to be outdone by its newest sibling this Napoleon said, “Not so fast.” So much for trying to determine my top three razors - today’s shave was one for the ages - truly outstanding in every way. :happy036:

    Newly acquired, restored and honed. Maiden shave. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, that easily mowed down 3 days of growth, to leave a BBS face. The covered tangs are fun razors to use. Light, and sharp.


    Razor- Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. Germany.
    Brush- B400 By Tom( @twhite ). WD Boar knot.
    Soap- RazoRock XXX
    Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. Ships Flask Decanter.

    First shave with this razor and first straight razor shave in a while, actually first shave period. The shave was enjoyable, it handles completely different from the ultra thin other two razors I have from Rasoir Sabre . I am very glad its found a home for my collection.

    Enjoy your evening gentlemen! Happy 4th of July![​IMG]
