    Yesterday I received a new brush from Lee. This is the densest M&F knot I've ever used. Perfect shape, proportion, symmetry, density.
  3. Thank you!

    It's pretty close to a 1912, but it's much heavier. My shave routine is essentially down to 3 razors, all of which are vintage SEs: 1912, 1st gen Streamline, 2nd gen Streamline. These are all excellent, efficient shavers. When I moved from DEs to SEs, I essentially eliminated a full pass from my routine. As far as comfort, they're all pretty close, but the 2nd gen Streamline is the most comfortable for me.

  4. Been on a tear with the Sabre from Blackland. Just an ultra smooth operator. 5 straight shaves in and not a single issue. I love aggressive feeling razors, but I am totally enjoying the smoothness and efficiency this razor exhibits. Have a great day and great shaves Gents....:)

  9. For the Month with the NEW, Walter got the call this morning and did an admirable job leaving me AGAIG. Of course he had some great helpers with the Omega whipping up some great Fat lather, and the Sputnik shearing through whiskers with ease.
    Walter got his name from the name engraved on the leather zippered travel case, "Walter Rosenberg". This is the razor that opened the rabbit hole for my RAD. It was my first vintage razor and was never used when I recieved it from Di Jones in a PIF. The cardboard insert was between the head and the base plate, and two new Gillette blues waiting to be used. The gold plating is also immaculate, and it shines brings brightly. Thank you again Di.
    I also gave the shavette another go for the first pass with a weeper on the chin. No irritation so my touch is getting better with the shavette. Have a great 4th of July to all who live in the USA. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

    To those who have never used or have had trouble with MWF, it's really a shame.
    This soap is as good as soaps 3-4x more expensive.
