    I just had a really nice shave with a Beam that has a blued tang. Stirling Sharp Dressed Man soap & aftershave splash followed with 4 good sprays of Creed Green Irish Tweed & I'm ready for a civilized Saturday night

    It's a very nice shaving little wedge. I have a couple of Wade & Butchers that are built the same, and are great shavers too.

    Tonight's shave was with another Top Shelf razor. I'm going through all of them, then I'm going to start on the Second String razors, and see how to move them to the Top Shelf spots. Anyway, I had a fantastic 2 pass shave that left me near BBS. Zero issues. A well built razor, that holds a fine edge.

    Razor- J.R.Torrey & Co, "U.S." Worchester Mass.
    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Yardley Gold

    My next straight razor shave will a Koraat.

    Why delay when you know you will buy one. By delaying it just means along wait and missed shaves that you could have used a Koraat.

    I am actually planning on. Korat next year. I'll be receiving a fair amount of $$, so there will be no hold barred when placing the order. I'm still undecided on the options: I've had some fun on the " configurator" :). You guys keep buying, so I can continue to get some ideas;)
