I heart SC's

That's one heck of a visual. And to think, the shave is better than the way it looks!

 

Thank you!

I really enjoyed the Stirling Soap with the Wee Scot. I have a spare Wee in route and will also give some Stirling soap a spin with this little guy in the days to come.

How’s the Executive Man EDT?

 

I’ve been wearing it all day, and it still sticking with me. I like it, it’s a little different from the Aventus, but not much. Bear in mind I do not have a trained nose, so my assessment is probably very limited.

 

The only nose that matters is yours which is of course trumped only by SWMBO...

 

Frankenrazor Tech cap & handle with a 15mm New De Luxe base

 

Canadian Goodwill 175 another razor based on the New design, unlike the other Canadian Goodwills this one is distinctly different visually from it's American counterparts. The shave with a Bic blade is smooth like an American Goodwill 175 or New Long Comb but efficient like an American Goodwill 160. I got a full BBS shave out of this razor unlike the others. It will bite you good if you aren't careful and causes a bit of irritation after the shave. This one will get another go round with a Ladas blade next to see how it stacks up against the American News and Newish razors.

 

True. It's not a bad buy at all.

How was the shave? The caps are about the same(depending on the tech model).

Goodwill Razors are pretty awesome!

 

Very mild, similar to a post war Tech. I wanted to try that setup. Now I’ve satisfied my curiosity. I’ll be sticking with the complete New De Luxe configuration.

 

It has always stuck me as funny that we want to try something "outrageous" but once we are done, we can't get back to "normal" fast enough. When I was using a couple of my "other" razors, I couldn't wait to get back to my regulars. When the razor finds you, it takes a lot of the guess-work out of it all. Good tools are like that.

 

very cool razor and set up sir..must find one..

 

lovely set up and pic sir..

 

Thanks, Gary!

Nice Tuckaway. I have an gold(-ish) ND set that I pieced together after getting the razor in a pass around. @jimjo1031 kindly did the relining on that one.

I also have what should be a silver NI Tuckaway, if I can ever find the correct head. (It came with a Tech head.) That was my first attempt at relining a case.

 

Fatboy Friday!
