    I have two. So far I'm only using one, with chrome oxide. Mine are glued with construction adhesive to the backs of 3" x 12" ceramic tiles from Lowes. This one, to be exact.
    (On clearance now? Better go grab a few more!)

    For the second one, I want something with a little more cut than the green. I just haven't yet decided what. I'm thinking maybe Dialux Vornex (orange.)

    Thanks, Blair. It's a Zenith, with Zenith markings. But I'm 99% sure that the handle was commissioned from this guy, based in the same town.

    Awesome! Stuck a toe in the dark side waters! I'd say more than just somewhat successful for a first go at it.
    Love the photo, too.

    Despined a Gem blade and gave the Autostrop I was gifted from @John Ruschmeyer a go. Very close smooth shave . The brush is JR 241 and the AS is skin Bracer original.

    That's Ladas for the new cartel recruits. It's superb in a shavette configuration. One of my fave aspects of shavette is that it allows me to utilize DE blades, which I simply cut in half with shears. This turned out as one of the most gentle shaves I've had lately, zero reaction from the AS. I kept it WTG then XTG, and a near BBS face was the result. Skin stretching is everything on shavette. Truly, my favorite way to shave when I'm not rushed for time. Calm day ahead, gonna catch up on some things. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

    Have a great afternoon and a pleasant evening!

    :)
