    Really nice job getting the razors cleaned up. I am looking forward to your thoughts on the razors as the month progresses.

    Razor: Gillette Aristocrate 1947
    Blade: Feather
    Brush: Semogue Owners Club Mistura Badger and Boar Taj Handle.
    Soap: Oleo Pucker
    A/S: Myrsol Aqua de Limon

    Great way o start the month with fine tools. The Aristocrate (1947 birth year) with the Feather Hi Stainless Platinum coated blade. I enjoy shaving when my soap and aftershave have a similiar scent. The Oleo Pucker soap is a blend of Lime, Lemon, Bergamot & Citron. A traditional hot process handmade shaving soap formulated especially for wet shaving poured into low profile container to allow for easy brush loading. The Myrsol's one-time barber, Mr. Miquel Ricou founded Myrsol in the 1940s and worked out of his home. Always in search of good products, he began to study chemistry to learn how to produce lotions. Self-taught, and buying quality components, he created formulations that are still used today. The brand “Myrsol” is an acronym of his name, although he chose to spell it with a Y instead of I. The famous art deco bottle of aftershave is his personal design from the early years.

    Love the photo, Doug! Beautiful fall foliage in the background. It's close to 90 degrees here in the South today. No leaves are changing yet.

    :thanks: Perry. They have had snow out West, so we should get shortly. Usually melts pretty fast this time of year.

    Best post I've read in a while. Totally distracted me from my online shopping. Just been sitting here with pvc pipe, granulated sulphur and a case of electrical tape in my shopping cart, as I giggle at that line. Back to serious matters....

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Great photo and report! The turning foliage is a nice reminder that fall has arrived. Of course, since it's 90 degrees in STL today we're not quite feeling the love.
