You have some of the coolest bowls, Guy!

 

You haven't smelled me, Andrew...

 

I like your razor, Scott. What do you mean?

 

Excellent photo and line up Guy.

 

Amazing photo and setup Jim.

 

Outstanding tools and photo Andrew.

 

Great picture of a beautiful razor Gart.

 

Lol damn. I guess crossing your fingers worked. So much for me hoping for a crappy shave. It’s a cool looking head!

 

Thank you Doug!

 

Not sure anyone from your generation could be classified as a hipster

 

It's not 10/10 in efficiency but its smoothness compensates.

A good shave. This brush is feels soooo big and I know it’s knot ( LOL ). Anywho, the brush takes a lot of soap and I find myself having to paint vs swirl as swirling seems as if there is no soap.

 

Some Celluloid scales, that are Old, degrade, and emit a corrosive gas, that causes rust, on the razor. This razor had the telltale "Cell Rot", when I bought it, but I paid next to nothing for it, so, I restored the scales, and blade to the best extent I could. But, it doesnt matter what the look, the gas is still being emitted.
Sad thing is, this model razor, has the most beautiful scales made, but were the most prone to it. There are a few more model of razors that are very prone to this.

 

Thank you, Scott. How can this be identified, and what are some of the others?

 

Thanks Andrew!!

 

Oh, snap...

 

Thank you Marine!
