    Thanks, I have a couple of these and thought I'd give one of them a try. Glad I did, one of the best shaves I've had.

    8568B27D-BF29-4885-BA79-8AB34F2EB841.jpeg Decided to reach for a Slim this morning and I landed on the 64 Delta Echo - Cubano Edition. Beautiful razor. Loaded up with a fresh Voskhod and lathered up with an all Canadian sandalwood affair. 3 pass BBS shave. Topped off with Guerlain Santal Royal and a perfect start to Friday and the weekend. Happy shaves!

    This morning I decided to give my usual Fat Boy a rest and went with a '49 NDC Super Speed.

    Especially with a fresh, sharp, GSB blade, it proved to me yet again that I don't need a super aggressive razor to get a smooth, close and comfortable shave.
