I am interested in seeing how this stacks up against the old Figaro from a few years back.

Very nice! Congratulations!

So far I love it. I should check my mail more often I was wondering when everything would get to me and it said this has been sitting in my mailbox since Sat. I was out of town most of the weekend but still somehow feel cheated out of time with it.

I got a stick about a month ago but haven't used it yet... Never used Arko and don't know how to properly use it.

Got my two today too!

I wet my face and smeared it on my face then hit it with a wet brush. after the first swirl it exploded into gobs of lather. So much lather that big globs of it fell off my face because the brush was full and my face was very thickly covered.

Thanks for the tip. Got it cleaned up. My eyes can't tell if it is a D or an O 3.

D3, third quarter 1958. Good score

Received a Float-O-Flex
Read some ramblings w/ photos and video here

I agree that the smell isn't amazing but I kinda like it. Reminds me of summer outside.

Not in anywhere near mint condition but for $30 w/ free shipping it still feels like a good deal and the ability to try this thing out.
Now...is it a B or a C?

Here's to hoping you forget what you paid for these awesome razors and sell them for $2 bucks each.....

from what I've read b type. The c type had an open comb.

great deal. The offerings on eBay now are close to or over $100.

I think it may be a lot about condition - mine is supposedly great mechanically but have some minor plate loss at the edges.
Will be fun to see how it can clean up.

Sorry I enter the purchase prices into my s/sheet for every razor I have

I'll be keeping a look out if you resell this one. Even if I didn't shave with it I like the design of the A B and C type schicks. I would display it, mint condition or not.

The good thing is that, I believe, they take modern injector blades.

handloaded they do. I've heard that the modern blades are thinner and they can jam in the magazine of the oldest injectors.
