Amazing how time and experience changes things. Today's shave was a celebration of SEptember with my grandpa Val's curved top 1912. It was the razor that started me down this rabbit hole. When I first started using it I found it difficult and wound up with a red face from razor burn for about three days. I stuck with it and it got better with practice - and then I got hooked into countless injectors, other SEs, lather catchers with wedge blades, and now straights. Whew. Returning to it now was like a dream. Super smooth, great reduction, that familiar burnt toast scraping, and a quick clean shave that's nothing but face-rubbing pleasure. Here's to you, Val!

Tonights shave. One cut under the nose. My alum block SCREAMED at me. Other than that a decent shave. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 29, 2016 Mongoose B2 with Triad Ti Feather Super Pro (9) Romera Oliverwood Synthetic Fine L’Orange Noir in Shave Stick Witch Hazel Fine L’Orange Noir A wonderful shave this morning. I enjoy the Fine soaps in shave stick form since they are very easy to lather and perform very well. Three passes and minimal touch ups ending in a near BBS which is more than good enough on a work morning. Finished off with a splash of the matching Fine L'Orange Noir and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

That's a nice reflection Karl! Your experience sounds familiar to me, but unfortunately I do not have either of my grandfathers razors. I don't even have my father's razors. Ah, at least the memories are still alive and well!
