That stand is nice Jeff!

Jonathan Crookes Fine India Steel, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Zenith boar, and D.R. Harris Pink finished up a fine Sunday shave.

 

Thanks, Steve!

 

Yes sir… looks to be a black backing with the abalone acrylic sheet on top. Looks pretty nicely done.

 

Shave from earlier in the week. Some minor roughness showing up on the toe. Hmm, not the hone job as it just came back three shaves ago. I’m going to smooth them out and see what progresses from there. Not optimistic

Sharp eye there Mr @TestDepth!

 

Part way into today’s shave I was thinking that this was the best shave this Wonderedge has ever given me. And it was. Further in I realized that I shaved yesterday and was only removing a day of stubble vs the usual two or three. Mystery solved

Successor to the Grifetto, the Grifo pays homage to his hometown of Perugia with the coral and white turquoise accents inside the olive wood scales. Great fun.

Enjoy your shave.

cool set up and pic Tom.

 

Thank you Gary. My favorite thing in that set up is probably the loom strop. I really like his design with that.

Beautiful Pipe razor, Karl! Looks to be in fine nick!

 

Thanks, Karl! I really like the way it shaves. I’ve been spoiled by my Japanese and Swedish razors. I just wish it held an edge a bit longer.

 

Gorgeous clean CVH, Steve!
