You're single ring is in really nice shape, but I'm amazed at the case!  It looks just about flawless.  You just don't see very many of those cases in such beautiful shape.  Nice!

I also liked the soap "hiding" in the reflection off of the top cap!

Thanks Rob, I was feeling the need for an Aggressive razor today on 2 Days growth and this Single Ring delivered as always. It was listed as museum quality but I was still amazed to find the condition of the inside when I first opened the case. There is some fading/discoloration to the exterior and the strap is missing, but the button is there and there are no cracks. Zero fading, watermarks, or dust Remanence on the interior at all. It was purchased off the Bay a little over a year ago and it holds the record of my closest win at less then .50 above the second highest bid. The razor was lightly used, very well maintained. It was cleaned thoroughly, and dried, before going back into the case after each shave. I did have some help shining her up from the razor tune-up service by Razor Emporium. It looked Brand New out of the factory when they shipped it back to me.

I got a lot of good PICs today and one last change that I tried was to flip the razor around in the case. I wasn't even going to take a Picture but then I saw the Plisson bristles in the reflection and thought Hmm. Well the last PICs made the cut.

Superb Sandalwood
Reef Point does not get as much play as it deserves. The soap lathers quickly and provides slickness and protection as good as any of the more talked about artisans. The scent of this soap is a deep warm sandalwood without the sweetness of some others. It paired well with B&M Kyovu Bay Rum today. Der Futur did its job efficiently in three passes to BBS.

Prep: PAA Ice
Soap: Reef Point Sandalwood
Brush: HIS
Razor: der Futur
Blade: Voskhod (4)
AS: B&M Kyovu Bay Rum

Totally agree with regards of Reef Point soaps standing in the shaving world. It's phenomenal, unfortunately I had Submariner that didn't like me and Dragons Blood that I wasn't keen on the scent. I'll definitely buy again when I have the opportunity.
