The first SOTD week of the year has really taken off with a bang. I'm amazed at the postings I have seen this past week. Yowza. 2011 is going to be year to remember.

I took my razor out for another shave and let me tell you, there's nothing as rewarding than being able to shave with one's own creation. Combined with the freshness of Sea Buckthorn, it was like being on vacation. The wife definitely approved the final results.

Wishing everyone a splendid week.

Wowwwwwwww Max. That is a beauty to behold. The first prototype Max Specher razor. This thread will go down in history...we should all remember today. Those scales are amazing. what are they?

I honed this one on the DMT1200, BBW, Coticule, Thuri, and Chrome Oxide Balsa strop. It was honestly the fastest, easiest hone job I've done so far.
Result: AWESOME. Man this thing shaved nice. Sharp and smooth. 3 passes and BBS. Happy days.
