Bob,

Is that TI a 1/4 hollow or a wedge? Can't say as I've seen many TIs with a heavy grind.

The whole setup looks "old school," very nice.

I’ve not posted in the SOS thread for a while because I’ve been using the exact same razor and cream for the last 3 weeks. I know that it sounds boring, but the red tip razor and TBS cream have me in complete contentment.

Chris,
Thanks! It's a wedge and the shaves are just lovely. Even though the blade is slightly warped it hones fine and is one of my favorites.
