Are you turning to the dark side?

I have been using Straights on & off for a Wee while..I like my Hollow Ground blade Lather Catchers and the Rolls Razor as well..I have just about sold off all my Gem Blade SEs..I don't use them anymore...I love my Injectors as well..I just sold those SEs and replaced them with some Straight's otherwise the Doe will get Squandered..I just love shaving with Hollow Ground Razors Period..

Billy..

I was into straights in 2008 - I am not a fan they are too much hard work and my new one went rusty . Shavettes/sifters/Feather AC 2009-13. I have been using injectors since 2007, and DE's since 1991. I am bidding on a few Gem/Ever Ready's but haven't tried them before. I have only used Wilkinson Sword DE razors until 2007 when my interest in Schick Injectors made me aware of Krona's. Since then, I have only used my Krona. But I have no more carts to collect, the ones I haven't got can't be found. So I will start a Gillette DE adventure...

Flawed Unseen razor from Whipped Dog!

If that is the Gillette Goodwill Empire French Set, I have it and it gives a nice shave

Blades: Voshkod, Rapira Swedish, Bic Chrome Platinum, Treet DuraSharp, Polsilver Iridium, Personna Lab Blue.

Fabulous choices!

Some injector blades and SE blades courtesy of a generous PIF from my friend Mike aka @Redfisher. Today was my first injector shave, if you're interested info HERE Mike!

The price was right and the feedback here was favourable. Thank you enablers . I have the cream but hear the the stick is even better. ETA is ridiculous date of May 05 but for $4.99 cda shipping included I ain't complaining since I have a few other options to keep me busy for years to come.

Dumb question but is Florida Water like Thayer's?

Beautiful razor!!!

I have been using these twin DE blades the last few shaves, and they have been working great! Enjoy!

It is an alcohol based cologne. I found a recipe online:
oil of bergamot 3 fluid ounces
oil of lavender 1 fluid ounce
oil of lemon 1 fluid ounce
oil of cloves 1 1/4 fluid drachms
oil of cinnamon 2 1/2 fluid drachms
oil of neroli 1/2 fluid drachms
essence of jasmine 6 fluid ounces
essence of musk 2 fluid ounces
alcohol 8 pints
rose water 1 pint

Mix and, if cloudy, filter through
magnesium carbonate.

It is available in the TSD store. Here's the description:
Florida Water Type - Citrus, clove, lavender, with herbal and floral notes

It will be in my next order.

Thanks, my pack just arrived yesterday and is on deck to be used tomorrow morning. Fun to see how they perform.

They are a bit interesting to say the least. I hope they work out well for you.

Thanks

More aftershave/cologne on the way.....ordered a couple of each to justify shipping.

It's a really nice shaver - I think you'll like it And I am now waiting for the Jayaruh #58 in return

Here in Germany you'd have to be lucky to find an Aristocrat for less than 100 € - on Ebay that is. The last two went for 130 and 151 € (that's $145 and $170 atm). Red Tips and Adjustables are pretty expensive over here as well - usually north of 40 €. Flare Tips and Techs are usually the cheapest.
