    Thank you Jim. Since the F plate has a blade gap of 1.23mm, I will likely give it a try on the weekend. They are supposed to add Stainless and Titanium to the mix over time. If that helps your RAD. :D

    Great shave report and photo. At least you still have good reflexes

    Nice E3 Neal!
    That is a cool straight, Keith! Looks like an epic shave to me.
    Excellent Shot Clint! And great monthly recap!
    That is a beautiful Fatboy, Charlie!

    I’m glad the injury was minor. You must lose that reflex before switching to straights

    Back home and had a great shave before an early morning meeting. Off focus a bit this morning, but I hadn’t pulled out my beloved Cooper all month. I don’t usually do a full 3 pass shave with this assassin, but I hadn’t shaved since the weekend.
    I feel a little irritation, but am completely smooth. Love the Reserve Cool as well.
    I seemed to have a hard time staying on focus this month, but did spend most of the time with a few neglected razors and soaps. Another month of solid shaves, and I’m looking forward to pulling out a few Adjustables for the start of August.
    Have a great day all!

    In case you wanted to narrow it down at all, the parallel grooves on that E would make it an E3 or later. Love my E3 as well. Many say the E2 is quite a bit more aggressive.
    Love the wooden scales on that razor,Keith. I’m biased though, as I like the looks of most finishing done with fine woods.
    Well said, Clint. Couldn’t agree more.
    A very nice picture!
    Sorry about the cut, Charlie. Looks like it could have been even worse, though.
    Travelling again, Brian! Have a safe and productive trip.

    Thanks, Andrew. And thank you again for the Cooper! It really is the vintage razor I compare all others to.
