    It looks wild, shaves mild-- but is capable of a two pass. I am really enjoying my month with it, and would recommend it to anyone of any experience level.

    You're very welcome. I wish I had the nice case like yours, too.

    I've found the Single Ring to be surprisingly light weight. I thing that made the shave more pleasant.

    Hello all, I want to show you gentlemen and ladies one of my favorite razor handles/frankenrazors. The razor handle is known as a Pendragon handle. It was a numbered special edition piece ( of which I don't have the paperwork) that was created by a friend of mine on an other forum. It is a unique handle. And it adds to the shave tremendously, because of its weight. The head is a model 102A Gillette Old Type head. This is probably my favorite Frankenrazor. Bug it gives me a fantastic shave. So, without further ado, here's the photo of the Pendragon at work in today's SOTD!

    cool set-up, love the weight and feel of the brothers bristles handle.
    Did you have your long comb new replated, or did you acquire it that way? either way it's very nice. I'm gonna do my long comb new in a black(not sure which black). and when a get a deluxe I'm gonna go silver tone(nickel prolly).

    I like the weight of the brothers bristles brush also. I got the New LC from Nick at Sport Shaving. After the holidays I am going to send him my Red & Black New Deluxe. I just need to decide between Gold and Rhodium.

    I like the silver tone on these razors,I think it sets them off nice.
    I also like black. a relative of mine works for a plater in Rhode island(a by marriage relative). he plated a cigarette lighter for me once. the finish was an irredecant black, sorta like a crow ( shiny black with colors shining threw). would like to do a few razors in that finish.( sadly that connection has been strained by divorce, else I'd keep him very busy)
