    I gather he stays put long enough for you to verify the sex instead of flying off before you know.

    That Fine Italian Citrus is Fine's closest product to Italian Barber Co., right?

    i am sure Italian Barber has a version of it,xxx i think,but it's not related to their brand.it's a close dupe of Acqua Di Palma Colonia i believe.Fine makes many different scents also..

    20220816_203651.jpg Today I received my Modular Adjustable Razor (MARS) that I picked up used on E-bay. There was a Kickstarter for the razor and the MARS website is suppose to be up soon.

    From the Kickstarter page.

    First test run is in the morning. It is an odd looking razor but it seems to get good reviews.

    Thanks Gary.

    The little razor has impressed me so far. It is a printed razor but it is solid. It reminds me of injection molded.

    Take care.

    Modular Adjustable Razor System (MARS).
    Feather Blade snapped (fresh).
    Delrin handle synthetic brush.
    Soap Commander Fortitude shave soap.
    Timeless Razor shave bowl.
    American Tobacco by Andy Hilfiger.

    First run with MARS and I was blown away with this little razor. The first pass was with plate 5 and I needed a little more RPMs so I went with plate 7 on the last two passes.

    The razor is very intuitive to use and finding the angle is easy. The handle is comfortable and has nice grip. The razor is light and does give some audible feed back. A very smooth razor, works great with the Feather and can hang with everything in the den. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week shaves with this one.

    Happy Wednesday everyone.

    August 17 SOTD Paulie's Photo Countdown 35 days

    Good morning

    Rockwell Model T version one ( setting 4 )
    Gillette Winner DE Blade (fresh)
    Hembree Delrin Timberwolf Brush
    Cella SS
    Pinaud-Clubman Classic
    AS Maggard's Alum Block
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 40.5 hrs

    20220816_223927.jpg

    I picked the Cella today. It's a really slick and effortless lather that loves water. I always get a nice shave without exception with Cella. The Model T got the call this morning at decided to set it at 4. In the past, Ii usually have it on the max setting on 6. With the fresh Winner blade, this razor went through my stubble without any trouble on 2 passes with minor pickups. I got a very comfortable and close shave that was just shy of full blown BBS. Did get a weeper, but my styptic pen promptly eradicated it. I attribute the weeper because I tend to be nonchalant with safeties and therefore, I must have landed the razor too hot or applied a little to much pressure or both.

    Anyway, I did my usual postshave routine by applying the alum. There was very little stinging or zinging. Witch hazel was applied to relax my skin and the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave was splashed on the face and neck to end this session.
    If I didn't prefer straights, I can be satisfied with only having the Model T version one in my day. It really is a fine shaver. Take care.

    Right, Fine does have its lineup, but now that you mention it, I think they are all dupes.
