If I can't carry my gun, I always carry my knife.

Aren't guns mandatory in Texas?

 

The situation is call Texas Roulette if you are a criminal. Is my victim packing or not?

 

Of course they are. That's why you find these on every street corner.

 

I got a very nice gold Schick Krona in the mail today. It goes into the rotation on Wednesday

 

Nice score!
Sorry if I missed it but how did the DR shave?!

 

That came out real nice.
Well done.

 

Day two shaving with it today. Day one with a Feather gave me a little irritation on my neck. Day two this morning was much better. I'm going to start stropping the Feathers to see if I can smooth out day one.

 

I also hear the the Old Types are fairly aggressive so may try it w/ something a bit more tame like an Astra SP or something.

 

I am doing a Feather blade focus this month. I'll try something mild later. Now you know why the Krona is up next

 

I think you'll love the Krona - it's a fantastic razor... the gold just makes it really classy looking

 

I have a Krona that is missing the end caps that gives great shaves. That's why I bought a nice one.

 

We all find ways to rationalize our RAD...
It's ok....you're among friends here

 

Wanna buy my old Krona?

 

Nah, the two I got are plenty

 

My August additions so far........

A Vintage Martin J Rubin barbers strop. (Disassembled for restoration....in process)



- "Genuine" Yellow Lake Oilstone
- "Salmens" Original Yellow Lake Stone (Wasn't paying attention when I shopping the Bay. As far as I know these stone are the same)
- Generic oilstone....most likely a YL area stone
- Charnely Forrest stone (The thin stone)
- R. Cardonnel frameback razor. My first frameback and I love it
Lastly, an old heavy Sheffield beauty made by John Heiffor (I believe) the reverse is stamper "Made for the Army".


A HUGE shout out to my friend @alpla444 for the help with acquiring these and gifting me with some.

 

I sure like the looks of frame back razors. When I finally buy a straight, it will probably be a frame back. Delayed SRAD
