    Sorry to hear you're having a rough run with your random blade selection. Sounds like you did great considering what you had to work with.

    Fantastic shave and lineup Joe. I am lavender junkie so Pure Lavender sounds wonderful.

    Fabulous shave Tim or should I say Harrison.
    Really rocking the shavette. Will you follow up with 100 straights?

    Thanks, Jim! It's been a bit like Russian roulette. Still, I've run across some really great blades in the process, so it's worth it ;)

    To my nose the scent of La Toja is very light. I get a clean linen or soapy smell with a touch of mineral or salt top notes during lathering. I like it in the travel bag because the scent is so light it doesn't cause a problem with aftershaves or edt

    Oh OK, that helps......I didn't see the brown ones right away when I went to the sight. Will try again.

    Awesome haircut! My compliments to Lady Wristwatchb.

    The sad excuse for a disco ball does reveal your penchant for flames.

    Congrats on the continued progress. Great shave photo and a bad blade, you are due for a change of luck on blades.

    Ok, I did it! I ordered my first custom razor. ShaveSmith never returned my emails and I tried calling and I got a message that he is not available. So, I went to purchase a Max Sprecher custom razor.
    I really wanted a custom razor to celebrate my 65th birthday next month and I know that it will not get it until way past my birthday. I have 3 large blades in my collection, but I always wanted a full 8/8 or larger blade. So, now I have been called up to the major leagues from AAA in straight razor shaving. In other words, this would be @Keithmax approved!
    Here are the specifics:
    Width: 10/8
    Length: 3 inches
    Grind: 1/2 Hollow
    Point: Barber's Notch
    Jimps: None
    Scales: Blue Paua ALVS
    Polished: Finished


    **You can go on his website to get an idea of the scales that I will be getting.**
