    Thank you, Andrew!
    The Vector head is really slim. I bet with a little practice I could get rid of my nose hair trimmer.

    EDRIO #81 '48 Gillette Aristocrat
    Silver Star Duridium blade (swapped out)
    Kmart Super Stainless blade
    Satin Tip The Purest (22mm, Corvette Class)
    Stirling SDM soap
    Homemade Tangerine AS

    This morning I went with the little Satin Tip for a face lather of the Stirling SDM. After I built my lather and was painting in water I accidentally dunked half the knot in the water instead of just the tips. I though my lather was going to be ruined but in true Stirling fashion the lather absorbed all the water and was shiny and slick! I started off the shave with the vintage Silver Star Duridium blade, but like every other vintage carbon steel blame I've tried it was tuggy and uncomfortable. So I swapped it out with another vintage blade, the Kmart Super Stainless. I think these blades are rebranded Personnas but I'm not sure. The blade is stamped Made in USA and has a patent number, I'll have to do more research later. Anyway the blade was smooth and sharp and brought home the baby after three passes. I finished off with some of my homemade Tangerine AS. Have a great day my friends!

    Uhh, I think there should be some sort of recognition here. I mean enabling someone to buy a new truck has got to be in a whole nother level!
