Thanks! The blade etching, "The Americans Give The Right Hand of Fellowship to All Nations and Own an Universal Brotherhood" is an abridged, compiled statement from 'The Political History of the United States During the Great Rebellion' (1882), which originally stated, "We offer you the right hand of fellowship. It is for you to accept or reject it…as long as we walk according to the light of the written word and own our Christian brotherhood." Edited to fit on a limited blade face. The razor was made in Sheffield, England.
Weber DLC razor Family Dollar blade Williams SS WD Synthetic brush Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Clubman A/S The Family Dollar blade falls into the category of "good enough". Good enough to give a fine shave (I'm DFS) but not as smooth as, say, Astra SP which are my current favorites. I think the Weber DLC helps with any shave, it's a fabulous razor. And as always, the Williams gave me a great lather and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks
Yes, Andrew. It is the Darwin razor, one of the most expensive shavers you can find. It was made from Cobalt steel. They are fairly mild shavers, but absolutely gorgeous.

Easy, thick, slick, lather. 7 O’Clock Green SS in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Burberry Brit. Bob
Thanks Robert. The extra weight of the Triad handle provided a closer shave than I usually get with other handles I rotate on this head.
Lumberjack in Florida just doesn't sound right. Similar to Texas style Chili or Picante out of New York City. Nice setup though!
I wish Sally's had a good selection, but no I went to a place in Detroit called BBW beauty supply. I went to 2 or 3 other stores before I found something good. Each beauty supply store carries different things, and I have been driving all over the city trying to find the Master aftershave line, I have found a few, but there are others that sound like they would smell good, but I would like to check them out before buying.
You miss understood. Texas chili being made in New York is just wrong Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
