Nice updates everyone! I ran the Astrale on the coticule last night, then stropped and had to wait for today to shave with it. Happy to say it was another WTH moment as it was so smooth and gentle I thought it wasn't working at all? But sure enough it was slicing through the stubble. Most comfortable ATG on the mustache area yet. Now my challenge will be to duplicate it on the others as well as stick to just the Astrale for at least a few more days to really get a feel for it.
Still having much fun!

That's a beauty too! I am thinning down the collection a little again but a Heljestrand is still on my "one of these days" list.

I used the Lister & Knowles I just restored and posted in the Hobbyist gallery. A vintage Butterscotch, Tabac soap, AS, and Cologne rounded out the shave.
And what a shave it was at just two passes, the second ATG. Man, this thing can cut.

Mark, do you ever get tired of people telling you how insanely awesome your work is??
I wouldn't imagine so but everything gets old eventually.

I don't know if I'd call my work insanely awesome but no, the compliments from this group of guys is always so thoughtful. It's always greatly appreciated.

Nice scales Tom!
I think that is the first brass shaving brush I have seen, was it originally a shaving brush handle or did you modify it to become one?
