    It’s Sunday, so that means it is a 162 shave!

    Tried out my new 1918 Old. Quite a bit of blade feel, but an exceptional shave.

    Fun shave today with a 1908 Single Ring and vintage 3 hole blade. Like most vintage blade shaves I have done it was rougher then with a modern blade. The shave turned out better then I thought it had at the end of the shave.

    That was bold! I might have to try it. There is a greater likelihood I’ll try a SE first, but you’ve stirred my interest.

    Trying a SE is easy Sir. We are always eager to loan out a good one any supply blades!

    It's been awhile and thank you sir.. My iPhone takes too large of photos to use on here. (Don't tell me how to adjust the size cuz I won't remember and I'm fairly tech challenged. There's something about the 40's and 50's that suits my face. All blades work for me and most soaps work as well but I favore the Mitchell's, Tabac, TABS (most all) Omega, Lea..
