November 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

I'm looking foreward to THAT.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on them. I’m quite pleased with the two TGN knots I have. If and when the need arises for another knot, I’ll keep the Envy in mind...

Hope you’re winding down after the long day and enjoying your evening.

 

Thank you Jim!

 

It’s a beautiful razor, and from what reviews I’ve seen, it’s a sweet shaver. Looking forward to seeing your reports.

 

Oh, I mean that in a complimentary way. I can tell your photos before I see the name. Same holds true with some of the other members here.
I know you just love a brand spankin’ new boar knot to break in.

 

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Super-Razor!....

It uses the Artist Club type of single edge blades? I have only ever used Gem-style wide single edged
blades and Schick-type injectors, not the slightly longer injector-width blades...

 

Beautiful razor Jim. Can't wait for your review. I have one in the mail. With or rotating mail strike there is no telling when it will get here.

 

Yes, it takes the Artist Club blades. I picked up the Feather Professional and the Super.

Several adult beverages have helped with the winding down. Good thing I’m not internet shopping tonight

Good to hear you're unwound.
Are you holding out for the Friday release of the Paradigm TI SE?

Congrats Jim. That's an awesome looking razor. I can't wait to see how it performs.

 

Thank you, Charlie. About nine hours away from its first use.

It’s a cool looking razor but I’ll be passing on it. I’m out of the razor buying business for at little while.

On AS:

Osage Rub, Brut, Clubman, Bombed-out FW and Proraso Green. Those are my core choices lately.

 

Thank you, Bruce. As to whether I would order a Supply, I’d lean to no. While I did enjoy the weight and the solid shaves, and might explore other modern injectors or artist club razors if given the chance, I wouldn’t say this razor changed the game for me. A quality, smooth shaver no doubt. I actually only have two modern razors- the EJ89 I started with and a CJB Kamisori-style Shavette that came from Keith. I do like my vintages, but have given serious thought to a Karve and other modern quality razors as well at times. Just never pulled the trigger.

 

i like the look of the blackland dart,love the handle ..but i read that is a medium aggressive,not sure if thats for me ..

 

I am hopelessly behind for this month. I will start trying to keep up from tomorrow.
