  2. curious, would a ever ready 1914 handle fit a lather catcher head?
  3. Very worth the hunt. I usually name that as my favorite razor.
  4. The other day we were discussing which Dammys or 1912's were the most popular or shaved best...
    Man, last night I used the GEM Jr 1912 from my G2 military set @wchnu sent me.....I have to say....Maybe the G2 1912 with a PAL carbon is the best shaving 1912...whew! Got ANOTHER one of those "best shaves of your life" kinda shaves...This combo consistenly delivers!

    WTG, touch-up

    Featherweight today. Great results! Smooth, comfortable, and efficient. This was shave #6 on this blade. I think I'll go one more before tossing and swapping out. Nice shave all in all.

    Have a great day!

  11. It had been over a year since I shaved with my Made in USA PAL Injecto-Matic - aka "The Schick Buster." Quick, easy, no drama and oh-so-close. The PAL IM, the Hussy, and the Bunny - the best of the bunch. Really and truly a great shave. :happy036:

    Keeping at it with the Asylum... A DFS for today as I tried a two-passes routine for lack of time. Didn't hit the sweet spot with Castle Forbes cream hydration though... I think it needed a bit more water than what I used today. I'll use it next time to test that.
  13. This coming Sunday, I'll be back on the Featherweight pony. Gonna load up a PAL blade and see how that goes. Treet is in the lead so far, besting the regular GEM blades. PAL and Blue Stars are going to duke it out. Then I'll make a decision on what blade I'll use.

  19. Beautiful. I think the flying wing is an underated razor. Is the OS Lime something that is still avaliable?
