  1. I preach the G gospel. Only because it's the injector I learned upon. I find E and J super nice.

    To all new converts:

    Don try a Schick G. If you do, you may never look back. It's the gateway drug to open blades.

  5. The packaging for the OneBlade Core is very Apple-ish, great foam inserts.
    The razor feels great in my hand, I'll use it tomorrow morning to see how it shaves.

  8. Just in: 1952 Tech. X2. It had a Gillette Blue Blade in it. It was a Y1. It looked in good shape, but it is now in my blade bank.

  9. I, too, just received my new OneBlade Core. I would never spend the $$ needed for the stainless version, but $50 I won't miss. Still have to try it out, but I hope it shaves as good as it looks.

  15. The gap and exposure on the old Schicks is so large that it approaches the skin feel of a straight. If you can truly master the E Or G, open blades are only a small leap of faith.

  18. Just left Mystic Water Soaps at Kensington Farmers Market. I wanted to smell the soaps and pickup a puck or two. Walked away with 4 pucks and 2 sticks. The owner was very nice. Talk for about 30 minutes to the Wife and I.

    Will post pics and inventory later after I get home.

  19. So after the Farmers Market the Wife took me to an antique shop do some shave hunting. I didn't find anything, but I did find @mrchick a new cabinet for his straights. The bottom green pulls out and is a front that is used to lock it all up. 20170617_102825~2.jpg
