    For less than $10 shipped I picked up a non-working Series A Stahly. Besides being offered almost free I wanted a silver plated head -- which this looks like -- to go with my chrome and polished brass versions. The silver Series A were offered at $21.25 i($302 today) n 1945. [​IMG][​IMG]

    The last of two months of mostly daily shaves with the Stahly in SE Asia. With Bic blade it's true love.[​IMG]

    Really like seeing the Flares still being enjoyed, though recently I've been enjoying a Schick Stick.

    Thursdays almost all English shave minus the brush and the German made blades. I'm really enjoying the wilkinsons sword TTO.

    A bit less than 24 hours stubble so I didn't think a morning shave would properly test my new Ever-Ready Streamline or Timeless Aluminum. So my get back on schedule shave went to my newly arrived $4 silver Series A Stahly. The 1940s Series A has a smaller guardspan, exposed blade tabs, and weighs 2g less than my chrome Series C I've been using the last two months. I was expecting a less mild shave given the shorter guardspan but if anything the opposite seemed to be the case, I had a bit harder of a time maintaining optimum angle and pressure. Still a very fine shave.[​IMG]

    The ‘65 Flare tip. I have one from @jimjo1031 I think and it’s used very often. Great every day shaver and even performs very well when I skip a day. Mine is my birth year and quarter razor that I’ll always keep.

    Mine is a favorite that see's a lot of use. I shim mine to make it just a little more aggressive.
