    Thank you, Patrick! You’re correct, sir. As far as value and performance go, they’re the ones to beat.

    It's not slick at all. I've used it exclusively since November and find it to be a very comfortable razor.

    Not sure how, but I forgot to post my shave from Monday. Which is strange because I’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing, since Ive been really sore from work Monday.

    Henry Cavendish pure badger
    Nivea post shave balm

    I had been looking forward to trying out this soap that came to me from Perry @PLAla It has a very enjoyable scent. It lathered really nicely but I was moving a little to the slow side, so I had to relather once during each pass. I only did two passes had a decent shave, but my back was to sore to continue. 372946B2-1E28-4341-A0D1-DC56AFA23373.jpeg

    Italian Barber Milionario
    Jayaruh 117
    Nivea post shave balm

    The Milionario arrived the other day from Joseph @Primotenore as part of his tsd raffle donation. It lathered up really easily and made for a nice two pass shave with very little clean up needed. 242A5EE9-752F-4292-9D33-1E67CBE64054.jpeg

    You have a really nice collection of straights, Paul. I always enjoy seeing them. Congrats also on the new soaps. I hope your back feels better soon. Back pain and soreness is definitely no fun.

    Great idea, Bruce. I send him the Parker SRX too. If someone can send him a bottle of The Veg as well, he'll soon be living in a cardboard box down by the river. ;)

    That is my understanding, Bruce. At least some of the Synthetics, anyway. Others may know more...

    Ah, well, kinda, sorta I guess. Never got a close shave out of it, have a new stone comming to try out. But thought if I can use this shavette thing, just might like doing it that way. Gonna work on open blade till I get it going.

    Thanks, Andrew! It’s cold! And, it leaves your hands tingling for about a half hour, even after washing them. I love the scent. Thankfully, for the sake of others, it dissipates quickly.

    Thanks Troy! I’ve wondered about that since the first time I saw one. They are cool looking razors.
