    I had four days of growth to mow down so I reached for the biggest blade I have - my John & Wm Ragg Napoleon. This is one of my favorite razors and it did not disappoint. :happy036:

    I had a couple days growth; this always gives a close, smooth, effortless shave. Coupled with Tabac soft goods all around, left me feeling smooth, refreshed and smelling like a million bucks:)

    Tonight's shave was with a another "Top Shelf Razor". I had a fantastically sharp and smooth 2 pass shave with this "Rescue Razor". I was left with a BBS shave, and no need for touchups. Excellent razor.

    That razor turned about beautiful. It looks like you should use Tabac with it, classics.

    I shaved with my Wostenholm "Peerless" this morning. It was a great two pass shave!
    The blade on this razor really holds a keen edge.

    Thanks Keith. I unashamedly " borrowed " the scale design from the Korat site;). It the closest that I can get for now. An exceptional blade on this, which easily justified the project.

    A meeting today, so early morning with some Japanese steel. Starting to loose a little sharpness. I think I'll touch it up on the frictionite barber hone......

    Does Google Translate support cursive script? (Should have been clearer it was the cursive style in Cyrillic I was after.) :char039: That would be very cool if it were available. :happy088:
