Stunning razor sir, love the color of those scales ! Have not tried Cella yet but it is on my list of mist buys . Have a great week and thanks for sharing !

Well I hate to say it but you were right. It finally happened, after about a year and a half I cut myself while straight razor shaving. Who would have ever thought something like this would happen to me. Go figure.

Hey Dave; if you had to give a rough guesstimate, what % of your customers get a shave? (Either just a shave, or in conjunction with a haircut) I just got my first barber shave this weekend, and the barber there told me, they only do two maybe three shaves a month. He was quite excited when I walked in requesting a shave since he hardly gets to practice it anymore. He told me during the 80’s and into the minutes, they were doing roughly a dozen or a dozen and a half every day (mostly traders from the nearby CBEX).

I would say between 25 and 30 a week. The shaves are a big part and I have some people that come in just for the shave. I have some people that come in for a shave and a haircut. I even have one gentleman that comes in every morning at 8 AM for me to shave him.

Hey Barber Dave what type of stones do you use for honing? You always get such a great shave!! As always, thanks for sharing!!

[@BarberDave]

@@RobertPascale usually a coticule and black arkansas stone

[@RobertPascale]

@ awesome thanks for the response I usually use a coticule, Thurangian, then an Ark… happy to hear I’m in the ballpark! I’ve been SR shaving for 5 to 6 months now and loving it! Also been experimenting with different stones. Just got a WOA and a les lat and LPB coticule’s.. I may be enjoying this a bit too much😅
