I have a set of seven that are my daily shavers, and another for travel. Very sharp, nicely balanced and little worry about corrosion. Chris Mostly true for the inox... but Im pretty sure there are carbon steel friodurs out there too. Also people need to remember that stainless isn't actually rustp...

From the side I can't really either. I blame lighting in the pics. From the top it appears the primary difference is how the darker color is mixed in (one looks like it was a wavy core of the darker color, the other looks like it was random strips that were swirled). From the top I like the latter b...

I was worried about the mystery handle stock. But really nice. Something I wouldn't expect on an engraved LE brush handle. Will definitely stand out. Now just waiting to see the knots. Also, see if Gary won't take a topdown view of the hair after use/bloom to show the density. I'm assuming he'll be ...

In how they cut? I don't notice much. (The exception being full wedges, which I find lacking in closeness (to the shave) on any finish). I would say that heavier grinds seem a bit more forgiving towards coarser finishes. Extremely hollow grinds tend to get noisy on some finishes that heavier ones wo...

Re: Touchup/Re-sharpening of a Razor
I have read that using a coticule with slurry will have the effect of dulling a razor's edge, which I have experienced. My dvd from Lynn shows him using a coticule with a really light slurry to finish off a Norton 4k/8k hone. Is that edge really an 8k edge that has been made more comfortable but no...

Theoretically any brush can lather as well as the best... it just depends on the user to increase agitation (work your arm off) to compensate for less hairs and to manage water without relying on a particular level of water retention on the part of the brush. That said, there are really two main way...

That handle on the proto-type GYLE is not only visually appealing and 'old timey', it also looks as though it would be very handy in actual useage. And...er..( cough )...what IS this 'AS2M' that keeps getting mentioned? Regards, Gordon I believe it is one of the two names the brush the GYLE handle ...
