    I wanted one so bad, too bad I don't like shaving with it. :(

    Oh boy, free shipping! That means I only have to sell an arm and I can keep my leg.

    Well, send it to me and let me try it out so that we can see if I agree.

    I have a feeling it would be a one way trip for my toggle...:lyrtuy5:

    There was a guy a few years ago, who was offered some old razors by a co-worker when she found out he shaved with old razors. They were her father's or grandfather's, I can't remember which.

    Anyway, that's how he ended up with a cased NOS bottom dial Fatboy and a cased NOS Toggle...for free.

    If I can just put the Mongoose away for a couple days I think it's time to put the toggle back to work.

    That is a fantastic looking set! Glad you got your name thing figured out " Richard Burton" and welcome to the Shave Den! Since you use that beauty daily what blades do you prefer?:signs046:

    Thanks for the welcome. My old hollywood monicker doesn't match the other forums so admin was nice enough to change it for me.

    I'm experimenting with blades. So far I like the Gillette Silver Blue the best but have a half dozen or more to try yet. PolSilver, Voskhod, Sputnik, Big Ben, Astra. I'll be putting in a new blade 2 times a week but am curious how they perform up to 7 days before I pick one.

    Feather Hi-Stainless - 1 day (rank 4) day 2 was not good.
    Gillette 7 O'clock Black - 3 days (3) nice
    Gillette Silver Blue - 4 days (1) smooth as silk, currently my top pick
    Personna Med Prep - 7 days *day 1 felt a bit aggressive, smooth(ish) after that, last day ok but not perfect. These things are good. (2)
    Kai - 2 days *day 1 not that smooth (?) still working on this one.

    Tomorrow if the Kai doesn't feel that great I'm going to try the PolSilver.

    I'm a big fan of the Polsilvers, its a sharp blade but smooth in all the razors I've used it in.

    I have a D-3 Fatboy, but still looking for a toggle I feel is within by budget.
