The penultimate Stankening of TabOKtoberfest 2024 was a nice one. The Médaille d’Or with the pitted surface is a smooth loud shaver that is a joy to use. I like its utilitarian design. There’s nothing opulent about it. No fancy gold, no flashy special point design, just a big square point hollow ground that shaves well.

I love the character in these old straights. The ornate etchings and gold watches used in the early 20th century is really special. Great pic, btw!
