    Hi.

    That's Semogue Owners Club boar.
    I got that pre-shave oil as a gift. I think you can buy it from Simpsons directly.

    Thanks.
    The material is called "ivorine" or "french ivory".

    I found it on ebay. It wasn't new and she needed a little of TLC :)

    Great job fixing up the scales. Very impressed. Any suggestions on straight razors for a relative newb with only a whipped dog so far. If I do end up getting a new on for xmas I probably will give away my whipped dog.

    Does the brand matter that much?

    I know of a person who modifies Gold Dollar razors. Gold Dollars are cheap razors made in China but the steel they use is good for razors. They normally need work done on them before you can even hone them however (that's why people generally stay away from them).

    I cant give you the link as I'm on my phone but his site is something like Vorpal razors. His modified razors cost about $70 honed. If you cant find his site i'll get you a link for it when I'm at my computer.

    *edit* here is the link to his site. The is a slideshow of his work on the homepage and another small one in the 'for sale' page. He doesn't have anything listed but if you send him a message he should be able to sort you out.


    Other than that http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/ is probably the way to go.

    It's hard to keep up with the Jones's around here... the level of sexiness going into these photos is hitting another level. I like my photography... but I totally suck at product photography.

    Looking at some other forums.. they're dropping flowers into pics... using old maps as backdrops... taking their shaving equipment outdoors for photos. Some people have even hit their photos with some HDR treatment (Hidh Dynamic Range)... which makes my eyes water.

    I refined the edge on the GD after yesterdays shave. Now it's nice and smooth. Now I'm thinking I need to replace the scales as they are shockingly bad. I need to look around for some stuff to do it though....
