June 2nd Canadian prewar Tech w Astra SP Zenith boar/Resin Stirling Mountain Man combo Thayers Today's 'basic' razor is this prewar Tech. According to advertisements you could buy this razor for 79 cents in 1938. Considering a Sheraton was $2.48 and an Aristocrat was $5, this was the razor for the masses. Whipped up a nice lather. I do load longer with these Zenith boars than I would with Omegas for sure, they are just a much softer bristle that takes a little more time. It did shed 2 more hairs today that were definitely of the 'broken off' variety. Nothing major. I had 3 easy, pleasant passes. I'm not completely smooth but I'm not very far from it. I'm looking forward to using this razor a few more times this month as part of a 'basic' razor focus. Have a great day all!

Great shave, Tim! A good teacher’s work is never done. I worked as a part-time adjunct Professor for 27 yrs at a local university. I do empathize! Although I’m also glad I’m retired. Just don’t have that level of energy anymore.
I just looked on the Meehan website. Wow, that is some expensive juice. I'd expect it to be the best.
Thank you Gary, how are you? I'm leaning toward getting the Heartwood A.S.(Bill Neumann&Co.). but I'd have to get a very excellent unscented soap for the setup. Maybe I'll get the 1/2 lb. Neumann soap itself. Apparently, the soap is pretty flat, but a reviewer wrote that he could still get good lather with each shave. DECISIONS!!!!
