Thank you. It is staring to patina nicely and I do plan to just let it occur naturally. I am drying the razor after each use to prevent water spots. The E & F plates shipped and should be her mid to late next week.

Beautiful photo, Jim!

 

Hopefully it won't continue to drop hairs. It's a nice looking brush!

 

Thank you, Jim!

 

Thank you, Clint! I don't think I have sat at my desk for more than 5 minutes at a time this whole week. Sometimes, having young engineers on your team means you get to spend some time answering a lot of questions, and we seem to be in one of those stretches now.

 

Thank you, Bruce!

 

Awesome - they shipped out! I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on them. I ordered the Karve with the D & E plates last week, so I have a little while to wait before receiving it. Think I'll do the same as you - dry it off after using (which I do with all my others), and let it patina naturally. Trying to keep it "new" would be more effort than my laziness would allow.

 

Fortitude would probably be my Soap Commander choice, if I invested in SC. Looks good!

TSD is all about discussing Wet Shaving. The only restrictions would be against Live Auctions, or electric razors. The former to avoid conflict of interest and shilling. The latter just because. Bring on the info!

 

I love the blade tray on the Star!

That is a fine looking couple of shaves, Jason! Cant go wrong with the New!

Awesome photo Jim! I put a generous splash of SfH on last weekend and got a compliment from my wife, have you gotten any reaction? What do you think of the scent ?

 

Thank you, Paul!

Thanks for clarifying, Rick! I thought it would be OK, but didn't want to do it, just in case - even though I normally live by the motto "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission". What can one possibly discuss with electric razors? You plug them in, or charge them. You use them. They suck. End of conversation.

Hope everything is going well with you and the family!

Here is the link...he compares the differences in three different Gem style razors. Personally, I think it's a good write-up, particularly for someone like myself who isn't all that versed in Gem razors.

I found a "Focus Match" for a Soap&A.S. combo: My PIFed Deluxe British Racing Green soap with the Avon 4 Men Maxwell '23 Tribute A.S. I've always had the Avon standing on my sink(as I don't want to risk tipping it over and possibly losing some A.S. ). Now it stands atop the Deluxe. I probably won't use em until fall.
