    +1 on Gillette OC. I will probably give my 1953 Superspeed an outing Tuesday, then the adjustables will huddle together in the back of the drawer.

    Fatboy today. Not a fair comparison to yesterday's Slim, but a better shave.
    Feather on shave 3, Arko stick, custom walnut handle drilled out to try a shorter loft on my odd boar knot, Pinaud blend.

    Loving the rfb shaves & pics Gary. My 2nd one is headed my way from Canada. :)
