I agree, prettiest straight I've seen in ages.

 

[Dr Rick]

That is just gorgeous.

Well, that's just superb. Bravo!


Michael, I'll add to the chorus of oohs and aahs over L'Alpin. Those are some seriously luxurious scales, and though spinework isn't really my thing, I'll make an exception in this case.

Thank you and yes it's one of the NOS Thiers razors from last year's Belgian knife show. I've seen the rose spines now and then, in fact Martin at Rasurpur is selling some at the moment:

But at a different price point :icon_rolleyes:

Razor: Injector

First go with a injector razor. Brilliant! I can see how these were a real alternative to a de.

An easy BBS shave

Not a brilliant shave but far better than last nights escapade (with the same blade so was definitely one of those shaves...)

Might try the Gillette Goal blade tomorrow or the weekend.
