    Razor: Gillette Black Beauty (R2) 1971
    Blade: Personna SS Lab (2)
    Brush: Fendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Horn Handle 22/49
    Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Cool
    A/S: TSD 2x Iced Yin Yang

    I sure everyone's experience with the Black Beauty is different, however, I must say for me it is my favorite Gillette adjustable. I have nothing bad to say about it. This brush gave me a very hard time during the break in period. It just kept loosing hairs forever. It finally stopped loosing hairs and turned out to be a great brush. Have a great and safe Saturday evening.

    Great pic. The blackbird is very handsome. It doesn't look to big in this picture others I've seen make it look quite large. It's certainly on my wish list

    Now that's good info. :happy088:

    So many of us focus on the immediate-to-short term quality of a shave when judging it. But getting so many great shaves after having practiced the 3Ts, I'm also beginning to judge my last shave by the regrowth the next morning before my next shave.

    I worked with a guy that was extremely slow at everything he did and got all kinds of complaints from coworkers. One day my boss said to of of the complainers " He can't help it. If he dropped dead right now, it would likely take 45 minutes for him to die.
