SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

Nice brush as well.
Sir Kevin - Keeper of the Good Stuff!

 

Well though your blade wasn't flexible, we all know your mind is. Better days ahead my friend.

 

Called a meeting of the shave committee and decided that today's shave would take place tomorrow. I'll be joining my teammates for trivia night and as I only shave every other day at most, decided to be clean shaven for the night out.

 

Thanks for sharing, Kevin. I was looking forward to your posts detailing your 7 trials with this blade

 

I love it when the committee is able to reach a consensus.

 

They're all a bunch of yes men. Otherwise they get no cookies.

 

I like your style. With that kind of strong-arm tactic I may have to put you up for membership in the Russian Blade Cartel.

 

Does the job include lots of vodka and a nice dacha outside of Moscow?

 

My version of A, but adjust some of the angles and just kinda not try too hard.

 

Thanks for stopping in and sharing this with us. That razor is pretty special!

 

It's good to know who your people are.

 

that razor is a work of art. Beautiful, terrifying, massive art.

 

The Damuscus technique of blade making produces such an awesome patina. It reminds me of my truly favorite blades, the swords of Nippon (Japan), many of with are also folded and hammered carbon steel. I love this stuff.

 

My first few injector shaves really produced a lot of feedback in the Alum finish. I think it's angle. Also, using a light touch is definitely the way.

 

I love Damascus as well. But that razor is scary. I would want something I a 6/8 at most. It looks like a great shave but too big for me.

 

How are the scales attached? I see only one pin.

 

In Soviet Russia, consensus reaches you...

 

Why of course Comrade. Here is picture of glorious dacha waiting for your arrival.....



along with the first vodka and caviar delivery for you. The guy in the picture? Your personal servant. He, uh, can be a handful when you want your turn at the caviar but hey, such is way of glorious motherland. Bring your own spoon and glass. You two will get along just fine.



Actually, he's pretty easy to get along with compared to the maid we have picked out for you.



Your tickets for the Aeroflot flight will be arriving shortly. The flight itself may be delayed, though, as we are still waiting for repairs to the plane from the last trip it flew between the decadent West and the glorious Motherland. See you soon. We hope.

 

Single pin at the pivot point. No wedge or pin on the opposite end.

 

"Y'all don't run with scissors Damascus SR, kids! Somebody is gonna get hurt!"
