    I saw one of these shaving gizmos in an antique store last summer...it was quite beat up, but your looks to be in good condition. Nice find.

    Thanks, buddy. I bet you Canadians don't even raise an eyebrow over 3 inches of snow and -10 degrees Celsius ;)

    GOOD MORNING GUYS. I WAS GONNA TRY FOR THREE DAYS WITH THE SAME PERSONNA BLADE BUT OPTED TO GO WITH A NEW ONE. THREE PASS BBS TODAY WITH A LITTLE BLADE BUFF TOUCHUP UNDER JAW LINE. TESTED OUT MY ROUTE 66 LUMBERJACK TODAY. WOW! THIS SOAP IS EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE. THE SMELL IS VERY UNIQUE AND SHARP IN A WAY THAT AWAKENS THE SENSES BEAUTIFULLY. I LOADED IT IN IT'S BOWL AND FACE LATHERED IT. IT LOADED IN MERE SECONDS AND EXPLODED INTO A RICH LUXURIOUS SLICK LATHER. ONE LOAD WAS ENOUGH FOR FOUR PASSES AND EVEN FIVE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING ROUTE 66 A TRY. LOVE THIS SOAP. THANKS @Salty Belle FOR MAKING SUCH AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT. HAVE A GREAT SHAVE AND A GREAT DAY FOLKS. :)

    Thank you ;) Pretty easy actually: I took the picture on our snow covered patio - I very carefully arranged the 3 items (did not want to destroy the snow blanket) and then used a telephoto lens for a narrow area of focus. I also chose a slight overexposure (recommended for snow photos). Next to no post processing except some cropping and a bit of sharpening.

    The Route 66 soap is fantastic. The Lumberjack scent is very hard to describe but I agree it's a great scent.
