Had a box from Dave's Shaves waiting when I made it home after work. I ordered 3 shaves, a 11" flat bottom, a 11" round bottom. and a 8" round bottom.


The three plus a "small" (9 1/2") flat bottom shave from the Windsor Chair Studio at the top of the photo:

All work very well, easy to set and are light and nimble. The build quality of the Dave's Shaves is outstanding, just beautiful tools. BTW, all four shaves use Hock O1 cutters.

In spite of my best intentions the tool jones overcomes. This morning I ordered three new Japanese kitchen knives from Stanley Covington and expect an order for a dozen or so chisels to follow, if I can make my feeble mind up on which ones to buy, The knives I kinda need or at least I can kid myself into believing I have a need, chisels not so much. It is just pure tool lust.
