  8. Thank you. Yeah, I decided to branch out from the light box for a while. Also, dug out a razor that hasn't gotten love in a while. I do like my Damaskeene.

  9. This is the razor that started it all for me. It was my Grandpa’s and sat in a dresser for a long time before I realized you could still use those old fashioned things. I was looking for another razor to use a GEM blade with and it did the trick. Funny thing, though, I’d been away from these for so long I forgot to palm strop the new blade. Good thing my hand has gotten lighter since indulging the straights for so long. That blade was really sharp! :chores016:

    Had another top notch shave. This time with my Nordic Beauty. 3 pass super smooth and refreshed.

    I really like the Scent of Boots soap. Do they have a matching AS?

    Have a safe and fun weekend my friends.

  13. Todays shave was with the Gem Featherweight. since it being Featherweight friday and all. I had a great shave, as i have come to expect from the FW.
    The soap was top notch, and as always, the Clubman does what it does best. No frills, no thrills, just a simple great shave to a start to a bad day. But, at least I got a good shave.
    Here is the video if yall want to watch

    My second use of a Williams cream, beats the original and Ingrams too. As usual I use
    too much cream , but at least the lather is very rich. Had an excellent smooth Shave with a good finish. The Splash which has a Turkish Cologne base is very invigorating.

  16. Your collection of stuff considering you are a fellow Brit is impressive. I find it really difficult to get a lot of the things available for good prices over here!

  17. Have you checked out Gemstone trading or even Gifts and care, both have good prices.
