I am unfamiliar with that manufacturer.

 

They aren't in business anymore. I'll post a picture of some of their after shaves later today.

They are actually back in business. Though they are having some minor issues in keeping up with demand, they're open for business once again. I'm waiting on an order I placed a few days ago for Shady Past and Capri. Heard good things about them. Looking forward to trying them out....

Incredible shave this morning! The shave was so close that it was borderline razorburn, but I got lucky. I shave with this on Thanksgiving earlier and I have to say the shaves I've gotten from the Dave Ocean with the BiC Chrome-Platinum blade have been very good. The previous shaves were so aggressive with every other blade that it seemed to remove too much skin surface and burned me. This blade saved this razor because I was about ready to give up on it, toss it out and buy an expensive Joris. I still might buy a Joris in the future because this Dave Ocean Atlas seems to be a bit cheap and isn't standing up to the wear and tear. I will try to preserve it but it's a cheap built razor. It will have a less than stellar lifespan. I'm just glad I found a blade that gets it to shave well. And by pure luck it not only shaves well, but closer than anything but an Old-Type.

 

This is last week’s thread guys.

 

Excellent picture and setup with a beautiful stand for your products Tim.

 

Test shave today with Tom’s Igor adjustable single edge razor. I think I had a problem with how I loaded the blade but the end result was super close, super smooth - right up there with the Bunny, PAL Injecto-Matic, and Hussy.
