  2. Thanks, Blair! Much appreciated! I have learned from my son that sharp to a knife-maker is not the same kind of sharp to a razor maker!

  3. Thanks, Gary, sorry for the delay in responding, but my youngest grandson came to visit and for a swim. Good evening!
  4. Jim, is a Kai a larger DE than a Feather? I wasn’t aware!
  5. Thanks, Clint!
  6. Honestly Jeff, I haven't measured them myself. From what I've read they are slightly wider than other DE blades which I would think would provide a bit more exposure.

  8. Thanks, Jim! I wasn’t aware. I’ll be interested in your experience. Blade feel is not something usually commented on about the AS-D2. I’ll look forward to hearing about it. I believe I’ve got a couple of tucks of Kai blades laying around. I’ll check it out myself.
  9. Ben’s a senior exec with a well-known software company, so he has the disposable income to play with. He’s been a custom knife collector since he was a teenager and a straight razor shaver for about the last 8 years. He’s pushing 50 now, so he's been at it awhile.
  10. Lovely shaves, Bruce! The Vector is an awesome razor. It was probably a Kai Captain or Kai Mild Pink. Bigelow is great stuff! Since it’s manufactured by Proraso I wouldn’t expect anything but a great lather! Enjoyed your summary!
  11. Now that is a pretty razor! I’ll look forward to your shave report!
  12. It’s a fabulous razor, Maestro! I get incredibly close head shaves with it!

  13. Both my single rings twist at the bottom of the handle and have a baseplate fused to the handle.

  14. You have every right to be proud of your children. It is also great to ask Ben for straight shaving advice.

  16. Thanks, Joe!

  17. Thank you Bruce! We had a nice little party today.
  18. i always thought the same thing. also the new deluxe razors.razors with the handle fused to the baseplate are apparently called 3 piece if the inner barrel/twist knob comes out.

  19. Wonderful shave Clint! No errors is always nice. The cooling effect of Terrorade must be extremely helpful right now.
