    Fantastic shave and photo, Bruce. You've come a long way so far with the SRX. That Noble Otter Flying Hyde logo is rather...er...interesting. concerned.gif

    Day 9.

    No news is good news. Same as yesterday. Two full passes with the straight, then finished with the micromatic. No blood, no hot spots.

    Awesome straight razor shave! No blood or hot spots with the alum is very good. I really like the cool table from Malawi. Such beautiful artwork. :happy088:

    Very true. I was going to mention that none are named "Brutal" formally. :)

    Great photo, Perry! I also like the new avatar!
    Congrats on breaking out the straight for today. Seems like it went fairly well, except for nicking your earlobe. It's awkward at first, to say the least - however, it does start getting a little easier each time around.

    Thank you, Bruce! It was much easier today for some reason. Like I said earlier, still not diving in or drinking the Kool Aid. Slow, glacial progress is okay with me in straight shaving.

    Congrats! Nice score!!
    Gotcha beat though...$9.54 for two Fatboys, a Slim, two Schick injectors, a strop, and a Gillette Trac II. :p
    Pure luck...estate auction. Should've left after I won that bid. I ended up with nine straights for around $40 - mostly restoration projects. :angry032:

    That's truth in advertising! I made it through about 45 seconds of one track. I never want to hear it again.

    Thank you very much, Perry!
    Indeed, I do. The scent is mostly a "worn leather" scent. And, the soap performance is top-tier. Jim @jluc picked some up and used it recently. As I recall, he likes it as well.

    The packaging alone makes me want to try these products.
