    I can't wait to get started on here! Getting to know the regulars and trading with them, being on the lookout not only for myself but others too like if I see a decent Aristocrat case from the 30's and thinking "Johnny just posted something about wanting an Aristocrat case, this one is in good shape, I'll pick it up for him" I guess it's the whole "being part of something larger than myself" atmosphere I'm excited about. Anyway looking forward to all of it.

    Is everyone in here keeping their distance and washing their hands? Me too. :) But I tell you, after a shave like I had tonight it is tough to keep my hands off my face. ;)

    Let’s move on with some more Super Speeds. Today the 1956 Flare Tip SS and the middle razor of the Trio. I really enjoy this one because it really does occupy the middle ground between the Blue and Red Tip SS. Never a lot of fuss with this one and I could see why millions of people probably used one as a daily driver.

    Some more CBL goodness was on order today and in keeping with the old school vibe I wanted an old school scent. Club CBL was the ticket. If you love Pinaud Clubman THIS is your soap! Boy is it good! Great soap and scent.

    Lovely three pass shave to start the work week. Topped it off with some Clubman AS...of course! Quick spritz of Acqua di Gio to finish it all off. Stay safe all and check in on your families and neighbours. Blessings to all.

    While I had the camera out: These razors are all used most of the time. There isn't a one in the bunch that doesn't shave good. The blade stash? I pretty much stick with the Gillette Platinums / Feather / Med Preps / .. Nacet, Izzy Reds, and a couple Rapiria and Treats are smoothies.
