    I seem to have about 40 pages to catch up on. Still fighting this stupid sick thing. On to my targeted soap. This was at 6.4 oz when I first weighed it in December 2016. After today’s shave, it is at 6.0 oz. I touched up the Kamisori, and got a better shave, but it’s still not there.

    Sorry for the blood, John. The pic looks great, though.

    Great looking Kami, Adam. Hope you’re finally going to start feeling well.
    Your soap was 6.4oz in December of 2016, and is 6.0 oz now, 14 months later? Slow down...;)

    My Baili misadventure continues... The razor arrived today but is not the one I thought I was buying. Basically, the picture on AliExpress shows the new-style three piece while the razor that was sent was the old style. I *think* this is a case of the vendor putting up the wrong picture, though Baili seems to have a very confusing set of model numbers and designations.

    I've filed a dispute, so we'll see what happens.

    Thanks for your concern.
    Had to pick my daughter up at dance class and there I was bleeding , rolled up some tp in a big ball and hauled a balllcap over top. Looked like I was smuggling toilet paper but it worked.

    Yeah. I had a meeting shortly after my shave. Nothing says "professional" like a face dripping blood. Thank God for styptic pencils. They really work!

    Okay - the first one is a Baili BT171, the second one is a BR171, generally sold as the Baili Victor (or Victory).

    Edit - found it at groomatorium for $6.

    Well if we are going to Shavette Fu... hold my beer and watch this!!!
    Yup. The more the better the party.

    I have found the same in my Valets. I love the Feather but more often use the modified Gem.

    Dipping in alcohol alone has never done it for me. I find you still have to dry the blades.

    I have a back up bottle of Clubman ready!!!

    Beautiful. BULLY!!!

    The CVS and Riteaid store brands are good too. I can not tell them apart actually.

    Woo!!

    BULLY!!!

    Welcome to the Drug Store Cowboys...

    To me the '14 is a much better feel. I am not a huge '24 fan. I also have a 1915 kampfe/star that is better then both to me.

    Hope you get to feeling better fast!!

    Thanks! I had a feeling the ‘24 wouldn’t be the same; I just hoped since the 24s are easier to find in very good shape.

    I have seen some nice 14's lately on the bay. I think sellers confuse them with actual LC's though when it comes to pricing.
