    I'm in for another 30 day rule as we dont see many on here lately. I will be using the Rockwell 6c on plate 6 ( that's 9 upside down) and exclusively Rockwell blades . The rest of the gear will be a crap shoot . :kngt:

    Like the Barber’s notch on your razor! How old is it! The Curvature from the heel would seem to indicate mid 19th Century. I’m probably wrong, but my two mid 19th century Sheffields feature that same curvature.

    Awesome focus/rule Patrick! I get great shaves with the Rockwell 6C using the most aggressive #6 plate throughout my entire shave. The Rockwell blades work well for me whether I use them in DE razors or shavettes. I would rate these blades between mild and aggressive. If I push it, then I could get about 8 shaves. However, I usually switch at 5 or 6 shaves. YMMY because your skin and beard type is different.

    A quick 2 passer earlier today.
    Last month I made a handle for my aluminum V2 Hawk. I actually showed rare patience (for me, anyway) and held off giving it a go until OCtober was over. It is rosewood and worked out well enough for a first attempt at turning something like this. The finish isn’t good enough, so I’ll sand it out and do a thin 3rd coat. Don’t think I’ll keep it though. I usually make a turning for the TSD raffle and this razor seems like a good choice whenever that may be.
    The Autumn Glory was a good choice to go outside to change over the tires and rake leaves.
    Have a great day all!

    jluc smelling pretty

    Thanks, Jeff!
    Thank you, Clint!
    Performance wise it's up there with other top artisans. Scent wise it's Old Spice and Gunpowder. I like it although my nose doesn't really pick up the Gunpowder.
    Thanks, Joe! Beautiful sunny 62° day. Perfect for getting some work done.
    Welcome aboard, Cliff! Good luck with your Ikon Tech. I'm sure you'll have it dialed in before months end.
    Nice, Jason!

    Thanks Joe!! I'm on my second blade and find them pretty good so far. As with all blades I find it varies for amount of shaves , sometimes getting ten shaves and other times two.
