Thanks and thank you for the info and confirmation.

Very nice photo, Clint.

Just when I thought I had
this figured out.

Danny, if it was a plastic handle with a seam, it was a G. The E’s had Bakelite seamless handles. That’s what I understand from reading some of the Schick historical pages.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements SS, ASB, ASC - Space Nog
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Switchback 400 w/Omega EVO
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus, Camel Bone scales

Long leisurely shave today using some of my favorites. @jluc enabled Space Nog....a delightfully semi sweet, slight citrusy Bay Rum concoction, hilarious labeling. PAA's CK6 lather is sublime to me, starts off goopy while loading a damp brush, builds into everything I love in a lather. Brought out a favorite straight, Drew Dick Damascus steel fresh off a touch up session. Very keen edge resulted with a couple red dots, no weepers, no distraction. 3.5 passes today was having so much fun. WTG, XTG out to in, XTG in to out, then a complete ATG on the right side neck/jawline transition. The ATG pass is done toe down, completely ear to chin, slight buffing motion....the smiling edge definitely helps make this contortion pass better manageable. Nice dolphin slick smooth results overall. Small dollop of PAA's Star Jelly, followed by a wifey approved, 'Where's the Rum' comment for the Space Nog (Pirates of the Caribbean being one of her favorite movie series).

Lather shot....after the 3rd pass, I emptied the overloaded knot, reswirled the CK6 formula for ~15 seconds. The Omega EVO synthetic definitely aerates a lather....but still thick, clingy & rich, despite my liking open edge lathers on the 'wetter' side, it holds it's shape for 45+ seconds while composing the image.

Thanks Gary and you too !

fabulous shave and pics Blair..

You must ask yourself what the soap manufacturers are using to simulate Oud, because the actual Oud essential oil is very expensive. 2oz for $1265.00.

Gary, that is just a gorgeous razor! Glad your shave went well!

thank you Jeff....good afternoon..
