Andrew.

Thanks Jim!

Thanks buddy and you as well.

Thanks. I've used each one once each, now, and I really like the shaves.

​

They look to be in great shape.

They're both in very nice condition. One is near-mint.

Will you take a few pictures of the one that is in near mint condition and post them Matt?

Beautiful! Both of them look to be in great shape!

Will this do? This is the only time I've ever seen a shipper (last images).

When I began shopping around for these, I kept seeing what I thought was wear/abuse to the bar. That is until I learned that's the way they were made. Appleby's describes it as, "irregular striations". During production, they effectively roughed-up the bar presumably for traction.

​

Perfect Matt.

July 28 - Shaving like the Fuzzter!

Razor - Kampfe Star LC
Blade - (3)
Soap - Island Hopper
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Got home from my day job around 8:30. Sat down and ate the rest of the ribs from yesterday's rack. Had a nice leisurely shave. Got ready to go out for the night job. Sat down to write up the shave. Got pinged out on a ride with Uber. That was around 10pm. It's 1:21 am and I'm home and will now get this posted.

Final shave for the Kampfe Star LC. I'm gonna miss this one and it's buddy. The Treet blade is still as smooth as the first shave and just as noisy. My wife watched me shave and was grimacing listening to it. I assured her it was just singing me an awesome song but was as smooth as ever. It is a noisy combination with this razor. The Island Hopper soap was an easy lather with the JR54 in the Marvy mug and the lather was plenty slick and protective. Two passes and then I demonstrated the Fuzzball slide for my wife to admire. She grimaced a lot at that as well. Seems like I mostly made her look scared tonight. Yeah, I know, why should tonight be any different when she sees my face, right? Ha! Beat you to that punchline.

The final result was a near-BBS that finishes up this run with the LC razors in style! Hope you have a great Sunday!
