    A hot day, but quite cheerful: that's why I listened to the French guitarist.
    Little to say about shaving, a replica of many previous ones.

    I am very annoyed to have two days in front of me with commitments around midday: in this heat is not the thing I would have wished for.
    But, thanks to the skillful planning of some incompetent employee deputed to establish the rules of health care in Lombardy, that's how it is.
    I'm not worried about death, but resurrection: I'm afraid that some bureaucrat with the right political contacts will be organizing it all!
    Right for him, I mean.

    It's terrible to contract a terminal illness without even having committed risky actions, suffer years of disinformation worthy of the worst totalitarian regime and then find yourself, unprepared, to face reality!

    In my opinion I was baptized with expired water and the original sin has never been erased...
    I know, it was right after the war and in those days the attention to the expiry dates was there to come, however, at least a sniff to see if it was still good, someone could have given it...

    And I look forward to the illiterate mayor of Rome deciding that the Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo have expired and should be replaced.

    It is not designed like the patent though. If it was meant to be used in a caged head configuration it would have the rounded portion for the handle to go between the cage. I've never seen a Famex or any of it's derivatives like the S.O.S., Autofix or Razvite designed like that.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #414 silvertip
    Astra 501 (first shave)
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman Vanilla

    This was my first shave with the Astra 501. I got it from Bulgaria. I am told that it was made in Czechoslovakia. It is very similar to the Schick Platinum DE razor.

    The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #414 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Astra 501 razor with an Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Yes I realize yours is not designed to be flipped, just noting the wider teeth appearing in the later patent.
