  3. @Norcalnewb, @clint64, @Boojum1, and @PLAla: great photos to start off the morning! Clint and Mark, your brushes always look so wonderful in your pictures that they make you charter members in Enablers R Us, Inc. Jim, the blue razor is stunning. And Perry, really like the different perspective you used in your photo today.

    Day 4 with the SC, first with a Sharp Star. Pulled one out after seeing lots of talk about it this week. This Sudsy Soapery whips up a really top tier lather, with a scent that I’d describe as ‘interesting’. A good start to Menthol Monday, though. I went with a 3 pass shave to knock down two days growth. I can ‘feel’ this blade more than a few others, it isn’t the same as my top 2 or 3 that I don’t even know are loaded. Good results, though.
    Finished with the Clubman, as what matches interesting, other than a different ‘interesting’.
    Have a great day all!
  9. Well, I am caught up on the thread. Now to catch up on the rest of the forum.

  14. John @Screwtape covered most anything I could add to the adjustable options.

    Somewhere in my collection of digitized vintage Gillette instruction sheets there was a pre-adjustable suggestion about being able to "adjust" a TTO by not tightening the knob all the way. Or maybe it was a 3 piece and handle? Sounds iffy to me, but it was right there in Official literature.

    Jim @jimjo1031 maintains a downloadable folder of 90 or more photos for those interested. It covers 1904 Double ring to 1970's Techmatic. English, French, & German, too. Suitable for printing!

  17. Thank you Jim. The background is out computer desk and with the right lighting it does seem to make everything float.

    Thank you John. Just doing my part. :D

  20. Holy Cow Adam! Makes you appreciate the smooth buttery shave of the finger shaver 1.0, doesn't it?

    Pretty sure the only way I'll win this one is to stock up on fruitcake and start working on it now.
