    I am the same. Handle weight doesn't matter except for my personal preference, which does happen to favor razors of the hefty variety.

    Depends on who you talk to... Gentleman can be overpowering, yes. Perhaps the strongest scent I have off the puck.

    Oct 7 - Menthal Monday
    Razor: Gillette Ball End SC
    Blade: Permasharp (2)
    Brush: Razorock Plisoft Barber 24
    PS: Proraso
    Soap: Stirling MITA
    AS: Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus

    First shave with this razor that I have had for a couple months. Nice shave. As with most razors of its kind the handle is cracked and I won't use it often.

    I certainly notice that the vintage OC razors are more aggressive than my Merkur 25C. Of course R41 tops them all but it seems the market favored a more aggressive shave back in the day. Anyone else notice this?

    Part of me wants to believe that modern manufacturing produces sharper blades and razors where more aggressive to compensate, but that's just a guess.

    He was typecast to play gangsters. Against type, he played George M Cohan as the lead in Yankee Doodle Dandy. He also was a great hoofer.

    October 7 SOTD:

    Razor: PAA Ascension SS
    Blade: Personna Blue
    Brush: PAA The Green Ray
    Lather: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science
    Aftershave: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science

    It was a quick shave as I was off the work after a few days off. Two passes and DFS with what may be my favorite sandalwood scent. A nice splash of the matching AS finished up a great start to my day. I hope everyone has a great day!

    No need to for anyone to apologize at all. I just wanted the 30 day thread to remain a place to come and enjoy each other’s company and leave the drama of the real world behind. Thank you for all that you do Rick. I realize your duties are thankless at times.
