Just picked up my third tub of First Line Blue. This stuff is my crack.

Picked up this K.W & Co. "St. Louis" straight razor off of the local list of Craig. The scales spoke to me. There is a bit of a problem, in the way of a nice ole chip in it. I'll have to reprofile the entire edge, but I needed a project anyway.

Wow, I know nothing about straights, but the blade does look in bad shape. Is that a huge crack at the end or just rust?

The scales have some amazing detail... Looks like some sort of Dryad, maybe? It'll go well with your d20 brush... A D&D themed shave?

Luckily it is just surrace corrosion. Should clean off with a touch of work. Based on some feedback here and some reading, I think I can fix the chip.
 
Picked up this minty 6/8 Adoration Axe, by Giesen & Forsthoff for the price of a family dinner(of 3) at Chick-Fil-A. I’m assuming the name Axe is based on this one being a 1/4 hollow. It needs a light polish and a hone and it will be in business!

Fresh from the Shave Den.
The Wife gives it two Thumbs up.
I like it. I get a little Rum and maybe a slight whiff of old spice. Like an Older Barbershop scent. Definitely Different from my usual Aftershaves.
I’ve heard/read it only last like 4 or 5 hours. We will see.
( I’m not very good at Describing Scents )
