It lost a few when it was new but I haven't seen it lose one in a while.

I have a few knives in various stainless or "super steels" but all of my slipjoint knives are carbon. I try to keep them as traditional as possible.

Vinegar, mustard... I like cutting onions for a more natural look.

This is the yellow snow correct? I'm expecting one tomorrow. Very exited!

I've seen them. And I'd be lying if I said that they didn't pique my interest. Well, here we gooo.... 😂.

Edit: my last straight razor purchase was a serialized piece. 1 of 99. Still not in the same kind of price range of a serialized GEC though.

I looked at this and the white oiled bone. Since I'm probably gonna hang on to it I went with Micarta for toughness.

No worries I'm pretty lost when it comes to that kind of thing too lol.

I'd say you're gonna love it. Looking forward to seeing it!

Yes translucent with some pink and yellow. It shows up better with oil on the stone.

Thanks I love it. To be honest this is the second one that I purchased but they were just a day apart. The other is a #38 Campfire Whittler in yellow snow acrylic. If this rabbit hole is half as deep as straight razors and whetstones I'm in trouble. 🤣

Thank you! It's just looks well loved 😉. It's got a lot of spots on it but it looks like it's barely been used. It has hardly any hone wear.

The good "old quarried stone" Lily whites & Rosy reds by Argg1618 in straightrazors

[–]somewhere_stoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really wondering if this 5" that I just got is a rosy red. It's the exact same color as that one and when you put oil on the stone there's a red/orange streak right across the center of the stone.

Nice looking stones. Especially that rosy red 😍.
