AHH Sunday morning shave. Star DE VDH Blade Burma Shave soap Burma Shave Boar WH THE VEG This is another Military style set I have. Bakelight handle and base plate. Very nice shaving razor. THE VEG finished things off on a very hi note. Another outstanding shave to start the day. Headed to the range soon to kill some paper with a couple of .22s.

As expected, the Lab Blue paired very well with the Wikinson Sticky. This is my rig for next week (shave weeks start on Monday for me).
I was in a hurry this morning, so I used my VDH DE instead of an SR. I loaded in an Astra blade and was rewarded with a close comfortable shave. I don't use this razor enough and it deserves better than to collect dust in the back of the closet. The VDH was my first DE and is what got me started on wet shaving. ABG!

No Idea, its the only Cooper I have used. Is the handle on the Stereo hollow ? This baby is brass and fairly heavy.
Yes, the handle is hollow. I was thinking some tungsten putty could be put to use there Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Well, I regret to say I have fallen off the non-Gillette wagon. I shaved with two old German 4 pc travel razors, with my Fatip Grande, and for the last 9 days with my Schick Krona. Then this morning I absentmindedly pulled out my Canadian pre-War Gillette fathandled Tech with the triangle slots... The real problem is, I got such a good shave from it today that I think I will continue using it as my test razor as I continue trying my different creams and soaps. So it looks like it will be an Anything But Gillette DE two weeks instead of month for me. It's been fun though, and I will continue watching your different razors and may drop back in with the Fatip or my Rockwell 6s now and then.
