Classy

 

Love to hear how you like the razor.

Sorry, i keep making that mistake.

 

Wednesday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
Soap Commander Renewal
Made-Rite 12 Boar
Gillette Super 84
Kai Stainless
Schick E2
Ted Pella Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Made-Rite 12 Boar brush. I did two passes; one with the Gillette Super 84 razor and Kai Stainless blade and one with my new to me Schick E2 razor with a Ted Pella injector blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Sure!

Shave is outstanding as are all James razors. Well to me at least. Even with the increased blade gap over the standard Wolfman it's every bit as smooth and safe.

The handle is a win for me as I much prefer later diameters. Hollowing the handle makes for a more user friendly handle.

The total weight of 90g is as good as it gets. Very well balanced.

Blade angle is intuitive and easy to keep.

 

Great little brush. It has not shed one hair in about 10 shaves. I bought it mainly for traveling, but like to use it now and then to mix things it up. It is my only horse hair and it really holds water phenomenally. It has some decent backbone and the tips are soft with only a bit of scritch. Overall I think it is a great value, but a bit small. Many times I reload during my shave. I recommend this brush for anyone curious.

Great to hear. It sounds like James has another hit on his hands. It is always great to see new high quality razors available and relatively decent pricing. Does Gorilla have a site? I have not seen one yet.

Great photo my friend. Loves the greens and yellows.

Thank you gents.

 

nice.....

 

I forgot to mention I drove all the 3/4-1 ton truck and the deciding factor was the better gas mileage with the cumin engine as stock from the factory and the solid breaking of the Dodge. When I stepped on the brakes it was instant and held its grown. Brake system was heads and shoulders better than the completion so hats off to you and your team Steve for the braking system on the Ram series trucks

 

Thanks. This truck is so rock solid I expect to keep it for the rest of my breathing days.

 

The scent is somewhat light, but it is lime in all its glory - a very natural fresh lime scent. I use a bit more than a pea-sized blob, but no more than I would with a ToBS cream. I haven't refrigerated it, but I may when summer rolls around.

 

I've had Mopars since I first started driving, 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE 383 Magnum was the first back in 1975. My favorite truck was a 1989 3/4 ton with a fuel injected (throttle body) 360, gas hog, but a beast.
