Joel, those are simply beautiful. They belong behind glass. :thumbup1:

[slcsteve]

Pretty damned spectacular Joel......

[mantic]

It actually looks a little..."evil"...to me. But in a good, "don't go messin' wid da man" sort of way.

[rtaylor61]

Robert does nice work. And you made a great selection!

Seeing this one makes me want to take up straight razor shaving and forget all about my slant bar.:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

you were right! good thing I had a glass of water handy Joel.

[berzerkeleyan]

You're not actually going to use these, are you?? :eek:

:biggrin: Those are museum pieces, for sure. Very nice score.

Funny you should mention that... the brush actually came from a museum and is 70+ years old, never been used :wink:

[Lyrt]

Now, is it the custom straight you were talking about in a previous thread? It is ridiculously great.

[Padron]

Wow Joel!!

That razor is AWESOME!!! I am drooling, looks great with your matching brush :smile: The contrast between the hammer work and the High Polish is Fantastic..

Very Nice, did I miss the pictures of your other R.W.?

[SSLStudio]

Joel ~!

Serious Bad A$$ !!!!!! looking Straight ...
Titanium ? does it mean that you can use the straight and you dont have to dry down the blade ? it wont rust or am I just wrong and all straightrazors need to be dried down ?

I'll be on the look out for that straight in the SOTD's hell yeah.........

[boboakalfb]

Wow...that's all I have to say about that.

[Amyn]

That is gorgeous!! How much mullah did you drop for that straight:a47: :a47:

[Xert]

I'll join the chorus and ask how much that beautiful brush cost as well. How did you manage to acquire that piece of art, Joel?

[leadfootedfool]

Wow :w00t:

Those are bee-you-tee-fulll :thumbup:

[DoubleE]

As a lover of all things sharp......that's almost enough to make me want to try a str8!! Beautiful............

[Straight Arrow]

Does drool make a good pre-shave prep?

[Areler67]

As promised here are some photos of some of my shaving accessories collection. Today I discovered that my local supermarket stocks a full range of Speick products :biggrin: :biggrin: (shower gel, soap, cologne, etc)

[Mama Bear]

Joel, that is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in a long time! The workmanship is incredible! I love the pitted look and the mother of pearl? is so nice. I have this overwhelming feeling that I can't live another day without one of those.. I wish I knew why :001_tt1: Can we buy these and how much are they?

I must have missed the brush picture tho.... :w00t: Edit... OMG! What a gorgeous BRUSH!

Bear Hugs!

Sue, who feels like she should design a shave soap just for that razor..... :redface:

[mjsorkin]

Excellent one. What is the grind on that?

----Michael

[joel]

Excellent one. What is the grind on that?

----Michael

It's about a 2/3 hollow.

[galpman]

Joel, those are simply beautiful. They belong behind glass. :thumbup1:

+1 Absolute agree.:001_tt2:

[chop-chop]

Muy bueno, Joel!

While the rest of us sit here looking at the pictures of Joel's latest "New - Favorite" ... has anyone else noticed Joel's sporadic participation today?

Joel, it's time to eat. :wink:

Joel, the door bell is ringing. :mellow:

Joel, your cellpone is ringing. :001_huh:

Joel, it's dark. Would you like me to turn on that spotlight over your new razor and brush for you? :lol:

Seriously, nice acquisition, Joel! :thumbup1:

[Papa Bull]

That's almost a 1/4 hollow grind. As Joel said, more like 2/3. I just finished one for another customer with a full hollow grind and I've done a lot of wedges. The quarter hollow grind seems to be extremely popular because it makes a smaller, more maneuverable razor handle with heft and solid momentum like a larger razor. While it won't sing to you while you shave, it won't skip or stall and gives a good, solid shave. So a lot of people are preferring that grind.

[Smedley]

Very nice!!

[Areler67]

Hello!

Sorry Joël : I put my pictures in the wrong place:confused1

Well I don't like it. In fact I wouldn't pick it up if I saw it lying in the street. In fact you could not PAY me to have it. In fact even if the King of Spain came over to my house one day and said 'I want you to have this as a token of my great esteem old chap' I would show him the door and say 'no thank you your Majesty but I have my principles.' In fact if George Bush, Tony Blair and Bill Gates and Alan Sugar and Donald Trump and the Duke of Westminster and over one hundred dusky nubile maidens promising me unheard-of delights begged me to take it I would refuse.

So there (terrible gargling noises off of strangulated jealousy).:cursing:
