You may find that little razor more of a 'niche' shaver (shaving your niches?! ), used for specific purposes as opposed to an everyday shaver. Razor is so small that it does seem to take a long time to cover territory efficiently.

Today's shave…..

 

Gssixgun does some beautiful work. Can't wait for my duck and bur to get back

 

Michael Waterhouse 8/8 smiler for Barbers half hollow

​

 

that's a beauty Jamie

 

Thanks Lou you should have taken the other Michael Waterhouse I offered you they really are top quality razors, I know his waiting list for a razor is now more than 6 months If you wanted one.

 

Vintage CMON….

 

Yes, I have kicked myself for that since

 

Gorgeous razor Kevin, I bet that is a fine shaver. THe C-Mon is on my bucket list

 

Dorko 7/8 NOS to me - just a beautiful razor built like a tank
Caties Bubbles Le Terre verte - I have never been a sandalwood lover but Jamie Mahoney loves it so I decided to try it again. I am now a big fan of this fantastic soap
Floid Black Label - I wish they made this in the 400 ml bottles

 

Thanks, Lou! This razor has exceeded my already high expectations for CMONS. Such a smooth shaver....
I'm curious to see the size of that bucket list!
I've a nice custom Böhler currently on my bench that I know someone is anxious to try!

 

Cool, is it ready. I can pay you now if you like

 

Not quite there yet! I'm tweaking a number of things on this razor and being very deliberate in my approach regarding scale thickness and appointments. Blade is very nice....<tease>
I'll pm you some photos as things take shape....

 

OK, no hurry. I am excited about this one though. My other Boehler Shaves so smoooooooth

 

So I've read in your postings on it! The bar has been set pretty darned high.....<gulp!>
