Mail Call! My first Paladin brush; had to wake up at 0230 in the morning to beat off the competition and purchase it!
Since I began wet shaving, three months ago, the Blackland Blackbird Razor has been my unicorn; until now. Can't wait to use it tonight!

Where was the Floid from, if you don't mind me asking?400ml bottle of Floid The Genuine Aftershave arrived today. Oh and a new bass followed me home...
Also, shall we start a shaving-themed band? How did the bass follow you home....was it rocking and rolling?
Yes, rocking and rolling down the street, it was a stray that needed a good home
Where was the Floid from, if you don't mind me asking?
I got it from Connaught Shaving via ebay. I'd be up for that, we could call ourselves BBS

My NOS Yellow Lake Branded Finishing Oil Stone Arrived in the Post Today..The Stone was Factory Lapped Flat & Chamfered..I Lapped it Smoother with 350, 600 to 1000 Grit with Wet & Dry..Took Me all of 5 Min..As You Can See this Stone is Ultra Smooth & has a Glass Like Finish & Feel to it..
Some Guys have Been Shot in Flames for Comparing this Stone to an Escher Thuri in Some Forums..Some Guys have Suggested its Not Fit for Finishing Razors at All..Well..I Happen to Agree with this Sellers Take on this Yellow Lake in the Link Below..
I Reckon this Yellow Lake when Properly Prepared has Around the Upper End of a 12 K/15K Finishing Capacity Akin to My Escher Thuri..I Plonked Down a 12 K Naniwa Super Stone Pre Finished Edge on the Yellow Lake with Oil..The Yellow Lake Picked Up the 12 K Edge & Ran with it Refined it Away Beyond the Naniwa 12 K..No Problem..I Done around 100/150 Sets on this Stone..Job Done..
This Myers & Sons Sheffield Razor was Popping Hanging Hairs Straight from the Stone..This Razor Provided Me with a Lovely Shave Straight from the Stone without Pastes when I Test Shaved it..I Happen to like to Finish on Pastes..My Preference..So I Hit it with 7 Sets on 0.5 Chro/Ox..
The Edge from the Yellow Lake is as Smooth & Keen as the Edges from My Escher Thuri & My Arkansas Surgical Black..This Particular Stone I have is a Superb Finishing Hone..My Sheffield has Taken a Superb Shaving Edge from this Yellow Lake Stone..Its a Keeper for Sure..
