Thanks, I'll have a look but being a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, I'll continue with MMOC, MMCP and MMFW
Sometimes, I do it just to be ornery and to get some over there riled up just to see the reaction. Doesn't make a difference to me, but to others it does.
So, thanks to my quick and undetectable moderator skills, I was able to dig up said post. Again, this was just for conversation, not saying it "actually" has to be like this, however, I for one don't like bricks getting tossed at me, so proceed at your own risk. http://theoriginalsafety2.com/thread/3163/oc-mm
Here are the pic's I promised, plus one of my recently purchased 1912 Demaskeene with the handle that Jayaruh turned for me on his lathe this past week. Thank you Jim, your handle make's my user grade Dammy look really cool. Sorry about the pic's my phone's camera isn't very good, and I need to learn how to use the photo editing tool.

Amazing work on the handle. The razor looks fit to shave a king ! Great haul ! Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk
I need to repaint the handle on the Pal, GM Satin Black Enamel would look good. It does shave really well though. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk
Sun 4th November Simpson Chubby 1 / Maggards 24mm -2 band Tabac Soap Alu General/ ES Claymore Handle Schick Proline [ 4 ] Tabac A/S Lotion I am getting nicer Shaves with the General since I fitted it with this S/S Handle. The shave was smooth and comfortable with a good close finish. But the Star of the show was the Brush, my 3rd use of a Badger and I got the moisture right, so it worked well with the soap and applying lather to the face was like being wafted by a feather.
Good afternoon, gentlemen! I hasten to share the huge positive emotions that shaving with an SE razor gave me. It really is worth losing time in search of a razor. Then you need to be patient and go looking for good SE blades, and wait for a call from the post office. But all this is worth it to carefully open the mail package. Get the blades. Put them in their place in the razor, and make sure everything is ready for shaving. Good soap and brush will fulfill their mission, and you will get a lot of impressions. Shaving passed with the result close to the ideal. Even more than I could have expected. Smooth skin and good mood. Sumptuously.

Спешу поделиться огромными положительными эмоциями, которые мне подарило бритьё с SE бритвой. Это, действительно, стоит того, чтобы потерять время на поиски бритвы. Потом нужно запастись терпением, и заняться поиском хороших лезвий SE, и ждать звонка с почты. Но всё это стоит того, чтобы бережно открыть почтовый пакет. Достать лезвия. Поставить их на своё место в бритву, и убедиться, что всё готово к бритью. Хорошее мыло и кисть выполнят свою миссию, и вы получите массу впечатлений. Бритьё прошло с результатом, близким к идеалу. Даже больше, чем я мог ожидать. Гладкая кожа и хорошее настроение. Великолепно.

I have a few Delta Echo'd (gunkoted) razors, and I've found them a little easier to keep clean because it's easy to see precisely where the soap is hiding. I'm pretty fastidious with all my hardware, and I probably spend an above average amount of time rinsing and wiping them them down immediately post shave (I'm a shower shaver, so I do the clean-up while in the shower. As far as how often I do a rigorous cleaning (toothbrush and scrubbing bubbles), I don't treat the coated vs. stock razors any differently. To further demonstrate my legitimate OCD method for post shave care, I do the following after every shave and leave the fan on it overnight. The only exception is when I use a cream. At which point, a damp brush never touches the cream and thus there is no concern for residual water in the tub. The hardware, however, always gets this treatment, and it's always following a thorough rinse and wipe-down.
I received this Ever-Ready 24 recently in a batch of razors. It is in great shape. I am planning on using it for next week's shaves Monday through Friday.
