Thanks, Gary! Good afternoon sir.

 

I have all the Colonial Razors, and respectfully disagree with PierPaolo’s assertion that the General V2 is inferior to the General V1 in shave quality. I have owned six AC razors, and in my opinion, the V2’s slimmer head makes it much more maneuverable than the V1. I had a brass V1 and sold it when my V2 arrived. It and the Blackland Vector are the two best AC razors available currently, particularly when equipped with a Feather Super. YMMV

 

Great photo and shave Joe. It’s very nice when something makes us think of a beloved relative.

June Focus

Jabonman Mediterráneo~~Simpson~~Gillette/Polsilver~~Aqua Velva
The last of the Jabonman finds itself pressed to the bottom of my Aesop bowl.
The bowl has a nice diameter, allowing me to lather my larger brushes.
The CH2 really picked up plenty of soap and transformed it into...

Yes, it's a wet lather, but that's how Primo likes it.
The wetter the slicker.
And speaking of slick, the Polsilver blade (either the SI or the Wizamet) was wonderfully
sharp and smooth as it traipsed across the layer of super-slick goodness.
Only leaving in its wake, a soft, supple, well-hydrated Primo-skin.
Aqua Velva made a nice appearance to complete the shaving ritual.​

 

Excellent Menthol Monday shave and photo Andrew.

As far as head shavers go, Andrew, it beats just about any vintage or modern safety razor.

 

Fantastic recap and shave Joseph. I don’t know about you but I’m ready to move onto other soaps.

All the pieces of the puzzle fit nicely today, Joseph. Nice shave!

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

Wow! A 2 pass DFS with a straight--you're certainly doing better than I was (and depending on the day, doing better than I currently am). I usually need some serious touchups to get a DFS along the chin in 2 passes.

Fantastic shave, photo, report, and progress, Jeff! Color me impressed

 

I don't shave my head so I will be inclined to take your word for it.

 

thank you Clint..

 

awesome shave and pic Joseph..

 

Great shave description, Maestro! Nothing like Classic AV to finish a great shave.

 

Fantastic photos and set up, Gary! I think having a NEW in the den that's in solid shape but still has a slightly 'lived in' look is awesome

In terms of performance and feel, do you prefer the ball end handles or the bar handles when shaving with NEW types?

 

I have four ferrules: a synth, a Boar. a two band Badger, and a hybrid.

 

Wonderful shave and set up, Joe! Love that Autostrop and the wet effect in the photo

 

I do get it, Clint! I own five of the six Model C Valet Auto Strop Razors.
