Razor: J A Henckels Rapide
Blade: Gem SS (?)
Brush: Graydog Quilt
Soap: Talbot Cades Cove
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: MAOL Cades Cove
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Opus 1870
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1000

Shave #1000 without missing a shave. As I stated before I believe I am MUCH further than that, but this is what I could state that was documented. As a daily shaver it will go up for sure and is just a marker. Next marker would be the 3 year mark of @1095 I guess (not sure if there is a leap year involved. GREAT shave with the products and tools selected. Have a Stellar day Folks !!!

I love that brush handle. Quilt, huh? I must try to make one. Lovely picture.

Thanks Jim and I need to get one from you at some point but can never decide on what I want before I contact you. Love the Celtic look and the Rubberset 400 and I bet you'll do a mean quilt too........

I love the Henckels Rapide. I had two but sold one because I believe everyone should have one. My Henckels is up on Sept 19. I also have a usable Henckels wedge, too.



This is the one I sold. I had made a new case for it based on my original case.

I have 5 wedges including my Henckels that are off getting honed.

Very cool. I prefer usings the wedge in my Henckels. I got inspired and decided to refurbish my Henckels box.

Here it is on the day it arrived at my house on 1/20/2018.


Here it is after the refurbish today.

Thank you, Dave. I really like making boxes, too.

That looks fantastic Jayaruh. Is that a stopping handle under the razor handle in the box?

Yep, mine has the same stropping handle as the regular handle wouldn't work for stropping.

Yes, that is a stropping handle. I can strop my Heljestrand wedge if I use a shim, too.
