SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - July 2011

[Optometrist]

Excellent set-up, David! Was the shave with your new straight good, my friend?

Thanks, Marco. I am usually a quick learner, but I have to say, learning to use a straight is going to take some time I think! Second shave definitely closer, but far from what I'm used too, and a small cut near the ear this morning!

Great photo btw.

Now you are really going to save money No need to buy those DE-blades anymore, all you need is a couple of strops, some honing stones, some pastes a couple of more straights to compare with the one you got, a couple of more strops etc. etc.

Thank you, Soren I'm already ahead of you on that! Just ordered my second straight, a Thiers-Issard Spartacus with faux tortoiseshell scales.
