Thanks gentlemen. My Bride and I sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks, Gary!

nice shave Joseph..

fine shave Patrick..

i am sorry to hear the not so good news Charlie..one of my friends is having a similar time with his better half..my thoughts and prayers for you both ..

Good Saturday morning!
There's frost on the pumpkin, it's officially cooled off in my part of the woods.
Loaded one of the razors I took home and cleaned up couple days ago with a Feather Blade. I brought out some bay rum I haven't used in a while, then went to work. This razor, even with a new Feather Blade is milder than most. I went 3 passes to get where I'm normally at with 2. My neck didn't bleed, nor is it red or burnt. But because I went 4 passed there, it is a little itchy. Changed the blade to shave the hat holder. About the same as below, only did 2 passes there. So if you can get by with a less culpable razor, you're gonna love this little tool. Well ballanced, looks great, has a handel that is easy to grip. Can't say anything bad about this thing, other than it is just not able to tackle my wiskers. That's just my luck.
The Grand Bay Rum AS is nice, good sent, good feel. It doesn't have a spout or anything to help meter the amount, so it pours out quickly. I used a lot of this stuff, to much???
Maybe, maybe not.
Nice!

The razor....It is worth the 4 bucks I paid for it to say the least. Guess it's a starter razor for someone who has never had the joy of a good home shave.
Thanks to Gary @brit that spotted it and noted the year, type and how it was marketed right off the bat.
It's a 1958 D3 TV special, as far as I can tell with the web as a guide. I didn't doubt you Gary, but your post did get me off my hind end to look it up, thanks!
All in all a good shave.
Well it's daylight now, the coffee cup is almost empty, time to go.
Everyone
Enjoy

Great photo and setup Terry. Good write up also. TV Special is a good razor.

good morning Terry..fine shave sir..the tv special looks in good shape..and thank you..

Good morning gents
So now that my focus is over, i decided to try a different blade in the Merkur. And i chose the Derby Extra. I did a two pass shave and it was just fine. Sure, there were some minor differences, it wasn't quite as sharp as the Astra. I did get one weeper, but there wasn't any other issues.

Have a nice day!

Nice one, Terry!

cool shave Daniel..did you get the hd fixed up?

Excellent black and White.

Awesome shave, pic and lineup, Terry!

Thank you, Doug!

Good shave, Daniel! Proraso is always a great choice!

Thanks, Gary! I didn't do anything to it yet. I'll try it first, if it shaves just fine i'll probably leave it like it is.

Thank you, Joe! It is, i love the menthol. I do have a canned version of the red one, i'll have to try it at some point too.

sounds good..

Thanks Gary
