Thanks for the info. I’ll be looking out for an “addition” or two.
While I only have a few of the variations I'm a huge fan of the 40's/early 50's Rangers/Superspeeds/Rockets, etc. I just like the simplicity and...
I use up-cut spiral bits on my router with this kit from Rockler. There are some good videos there. 6 years ago my wife and I retired and moved...
That’s pretty much how I make them although I use my router table rather than my table saw. :)
Dovetails on that fairly shallow lid might be tough but 1/4” box joints wouldn’t be too hard to do. :)
This has become my favourite Gillette razor. I've always liked the simplicity of the early USA Superspeeds but they're a bit mild for me, and I...
Great photo. I really wanted to like the Taylor’s Sandalwood products. But they were just a bit too “sandalwoody” for me. :(

As @brit says, there is little difference in how they shave. As you can see the Fatboy is just a little chunkier, a little heavier and with a...
That is a spectacular razor! I have a '49 NDC and a '52 X4. I also have a '46 Milord and both black tips, but I should really find some Brit models.
I really like those late 40's to early 50's models. The design is simple, clean and classic - everything you need in a TTO razor and nothing you...
It cleaned up really nicely. Is that the correct case for a '51? My A1 Flare Tip came with a tan case like that, but my X2 Super Speed is in a...
Ooops, I picked the wrong photo. Thanks. Fixed it. They look about the same...from where the tip ends on up. :)
