    Love the blue... it's so, blue.
    Is that original tip color or repaint?
    Nice picture Jim.

    Thank you, Terry.
    The tip has been repainted, otherwise original. The razor is in fantastic condition.

    I don't know, Terry. I purchased the razor already repainted.

    Wednesday already. At least the work week seems to be going by quickly. The "Soap Destroyer" ate through the Shiloh whipping up a rich slick lather. Three passes and touch ups ended with a drama free BBS shave. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to the office. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

    So, not wanting to be a party pooper or anything, I went "all in" on the basic theme this morning. Somebody mentioned that TOBS qualified for basics, so I saw a window of opportunity here. I pulled out some grapefruit TOBS, an old superspeed that I hadn't used in a couple of years (with 2 year old Astra SP blade still in it), and a crown king 28mm synth that I bought for like $8 on clearance because I really liked the wood handle. Doesn't get much more basic than that. I know the suspense is killing you, but... an excellent shave ensued.
