This week I am working my way through some of me pre-1924 T.R. Cadman ⅝ "Bemgall" SRs. This morning I also had to shave-test a Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 for @CTP so I included it the shave for half of the first pass and half of the CdM (fool's pass).

I feel confident that @CTP will be pleased with the result of his honed ACRM-2 T.H.60. It will be posted off today together with some other gear that he ordered.

Surely one of these days, given all the gifs, an SOTD photo…… too much to ask from such a respected member?
