Sweet case for your straights Ray

 

Thanks, Neale. My wife had it made for me for Father's Day.

I don't think the craftsman was a straight shaver, but as it turns out, many of the woods he used are favorites for scales - the top is of African wenge, and the base is Macassar (sp?) ebony, for instance. What a coincidence!

 

Wow,

It sounds incredible, a great fathers day gift :happy005

Congrats Ray!

Great photos evryBuddy !

No shave yesterday but todays will be interesting.


I have 3 cubes from CAR (Hydrolast) that have just been sitting around so this morning I milled one down into a glass tub (Anchor Hocking type) for future use in lather experimentation.
Im not sure how these things are processed but they are hard as rocks.
I ended up with basically soap dust and some chunks .....heating it up a bit didnt help at all.
So today I will use da cube dust with some Caswell Massey Sandalwood soap to see what I can conjure up.

Merkur 39c (Slant SledgeHammer) + Derby
Superior "BeeHaive" custom 21mm brush
Musgo Real AS + Witch Hazel spritz
and some EdT to be determined later.
