That's what winning looks like. Congrats!!

It pays to have good friends to help out as well.

Got this great disposable kamisori and single edge disposable fresh from Japan as a pif from @Vlasta. I can't thank him enough. Perhaps the rest of the world could take a lesson on how the lack of plastic makes these easier to be recycled.

The SE looks a bit like an Asylum RX.

Really in shape only, this one is skeletonized for the absolute least material to be used.

That's what I meant. The shape of the head area.

The Kamisori looks dangerously similar to the Sayuri that a bunch of us tried in June. For your sake, I hope it isn't!

A few goodies from @Linuxguile to keep me busy for a while.

Edit: The blue and cream one is identical to shape and size as the black and cream Ever-Ready. Could it be a clone or one that left the factory un-stamped.

Heck ya!!

More projects. Turns out the black/green one is alread around a 24mm.... bonus!

Today in the mail I got the PIF razors I traded @twhite for. Also in the box was a Schick Type L1 for me. Thanks again Tom.


Yesterday the Schick 500 came in the mail.


After they both got here and looking at them side by side I now know why @John Ruschmeyer asked if the 500 was a Type L 500.



The shorter one on top is the L1 & the 500 is on the bottom.

I bid on an "L" type 500 recently but missed.

I've got several "J" type 500's so I'm anxious to add the "L" to my arsenal but they seem to be a bit more rare.

That one looks very nice.

It should have the release lever on the bottom for cleaning, like a Hydro-Magic.

A moment of weakness. Actually took a second trip to a small independent pharmacy to view their wares. Closed on Saturday?
( I haven't forgotten about you Larry @LKLive13. I picked up what I think may be spalted pecan. It should make nice brush handles.)

Why yes, yes it does.

Dollar Tree has tubes of Gillette BODY shave gel. Bought one, smells meh, haven't shaved with it yet, don't know if it's any good.

They now also carry a flea/tick/skeeter spray made in the U.S. by our friends at Blue Cross Labs. Contains clove, cedarwood and cinnamon oils (scentwise it's heaviest on the clove with cinnamon on bass; not picking up cedar but I have EO that can remedy that); the rest must be water. If it works for dogs, no reason it shouldn't work for people. Smells no worse than straight up citronella but I'm going to use it as a shoe deodorizer spray.

Sprayed some on my arm. If you want to smell like VIBR, believe me you can for just $1.
