Hmmm...didn't cross my mind, nor am I planning on it - but, a Delta Echo Karve...that would be sweet!

Beautiful photo, Clint! Congrats on finishing off the Fine!

Beautiful photo, Clint. Congrats knocking out a soap.

Thank you guys. I have been working on both the C&E Cream and the Fine for sometime now. I am happy they are both done and dusted.

At about the same price point as the Astra SP which do you prefer John? I think I like the Permasharp better.

Awesome shot Brian! Are you sure you dont have one or two more that you forgot about?

Fun shave, Adam!

Excellent shot Clint! Another one falls to the Soap Assassin!

Thank you Andrew. I am guessing somewhere close to 3 or 4 more soaps will reach their demise before year end.

Thank you, Gentlemen.

Good job with the left hand, Jim. I have never used my left with a DE, and it is probably the main reason it took me so long to feel comfortable with a CJB Kami using my left. Well, that and the gouges I gave myself the first shaves with it...
Awesome photo, in your signature style. The LGC is just about the only regular production B&M I haven’t tried.

Those really are some of the coolest looking razors ever.
Barbershop is one of SWMBO’s faves. I find it quite powdery, but she really enjoys it. Therefore, I use it

Awesome combo, Jim! Good luck in those meetings.

I love the performance of the Jeeves products I have as well, Adam. I’m just ok on a few of the scents. Love tobacco and Bay (Velvet Jacket), like Key Lime (thanks again)and sort of like Apothecary. The scent is very light, but pleasant. My Blood on Steel combo is waiting down at the shipping outlet near the border whenever I find the time to go get it...

That Thater looks fully broken it, Clint. One question I’ve been meaning to ask you- Do you keep your Fine Soaps in those boxes, or just keep them for photos?

Thank you, Jason.
Shaving with my left hand is going to take some practice. Weird sensation having my hand doing the opposite of what I thought I was telling it to do.
I really like LGC. If you like floral scents I would recommend it.

I know I've been the one asking the questions plenty, so I definitely don't mind helping out. I am a big believer in passing on what little information I have. It does make for busier times every now and then.

Oh, and V does still equal IR.

You should have been then when I tried to explain 3 phase power to my wife and her coworker our first year of work. She is a Chemical Engineer as well.

My wife hasn't really smelled it yet. She was out of town the first time I tried it, and she wasn't up when I left the house this morning. I think she will like it, but you never know.

Thank you for the kind words!

Great picture, Brian!

I think I prefer the 7 o'Clock Permasharp more, as well. I will say, though, that they are a blade which is almost too sharp for certain razors.

When I bought the Fine Soaps they didn’t offer containers so I kept the boxes for photos.

A couple of new items in the HQ den that will appear in the not too distant future. First, a really beautiful Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf that I found on Ebay. This thing is a real beauty. Near-mint condition. Shiny! The seller also sent two Gem Stainless blades for it. That's ok, I have carbons in the house so I'm good to go. Chances are you'll see this razor come out to play in SEptember. Also, a NOS tuck of Personna 74 DE blades. Considered by most to be perhaps the best DE blade ever made, certainly, in the US, I've been wanting to give these a try. An anonymous gifter sent them to me (thank you anonymous gifter - yes, I know your name but by your request nobody else will ever know). I expect these will come into play in Adjustable August. I'm putting some blades on trial for the month and these will be in the mix.

Thank you Andrew. I’m embarrassed to tell you I’m not sure. I’ve found the three Craftsman razors I used this week, but haven’t unpacked everything yet. It’s been like Christmas.

I just thought I’d leave this pic for you as well. I love this kid!

He appears to be on a path leading to charisma and fun-loving.

You nailed it

So, will you be applying your usual rigorous blade testing methods to the P74?
