I have the Ryback 2 and it is a very high quality knife, but for me it is to short. If there would be a 240 mm version, I would buy it in an instant.

My 5k cracked too some time ago, but I got a new one from my vendor. He said the problem was a bad batch. So far no problems at all with the new one.

I love my Microplane!

Got my second Wester Bros. Anchor Brand today. Really nice condition, better than I anticipated from the ebay photo.

If I where in the market, I would go with the Transformer Prime. Just a well rounded package.

The new Carter Video is online for two days or so. Anyone already bought and seen it?

Best cream for me so far, Castle Forbes Lavender and Lime. A bit pricey, but just a wonderful product.

Murray Carter brings a revised version of his "Introduction to Sharpening" shortly.

You don't need a Filarmonica oder a Puma. I had a NOS #14 8/8 Filarmonica and it was a great shaver, but nothing a well made, non-hyped blade couldn't do also. That was my collection two years ago: I had quite a few hyped names there, Filarmonica, Thiers Issard, Dorko, Wade & Butcher. But...

Let's see. I wash my face with warm water and soap, then cover my face with a hot, wet towel for about a minute. Followed by the Proraso preshave cream and after stropping my razor I face lather until I have a thin but very creamy lather (Takes about 2 to 3 minutes) and then I am good to go.

Canola oil and clarified butter. Everynow and then olive oil.

If I had the money, I had to go with: http://www.cartercutlery.com/japanese-knives/clearance-items-seconds/2nd-59sun-international-pro-nakiri-damascus-ironwood

For a well made but low priced serrated knife, look at Victorinox.
