Mr. Cawtuh is correct.....I'm about an hour north of Foxboro.

 

Thank you Jim. The razor is too damn shiny. It is hard to keep the fingerprints off long enough to take a picture.

March 9th
NEW LC w Derby Extra (1)
APShaveCo Fan / Evan's Aluminum
SV Cubebe combo
Thayers
7th day of the NEW focus, 4th and last for now with the awesome LC. Whipped up an exceptional and nicely scented lather, well-guided by Evan's handiwork. I loaded up a Derby after seeing @jluc pull one out on the weekend. I started with Derbys as part of my original Fendrihan blade sampler 3 1/2 years ago. I think it was 10 Derbys, 10 Astras, 10 Feathers, 10 Voskhods and 10 Merkurs, iirc. The Merkurs were laughably bad (I don't think I have any left to revisit, because I would...), everything else got pretty much used up. There were 3 Derby blades left. Now that I think of it, I think there was a tuck of Derbys in with the EJ 89 when I bought it as well. Anyway, it did a fine job today. Are other blades sharper? Yes, but this was plenty smooth enough. A little jawline touchup after 3 easy passes and I am very smooth.
Have a great day all!

 

fantastic shave and pic Jason,good morning..

 

Wonderful shave and picture, Jason!
The only blade I've tried that really stand out as bad are the two Bic Chrome Platinum blades I got in my sampler. I must've gotten duds as others seem to enjoy them. Mine felt like they were serrated.

 

Awesome looking combo, Gary! That blade bank looks quite different than the usual Gillette one. Very cool. Good morning to you, sir...

 

ATT Focus, to long to be mini anymore.

Great shave this morning. I went with the R2 plate which is an open comb and a Voskhod blade this morning. Well I started with the Voskhod anyway. Completed the first pass with the Voskhod and it was tuggy and I just was not "feeling" it so I grabbed up a Derby. Boy what a difference. The Derby was smooth and the shave felt like it was suppose to. Completed a smooth third pass as well. Now before the Cartel sends Natalia to rough me up I will try the same shave in the morning with fresh blades. The Voskhod may have had more mileage on it than I thought.

The Imperial soap still impresses me and produces some awesome goo. Tapped out with some Clubman aftershave lotion.

Could the Derby work better with the ATT? Time will tell. I started out with Derbys and used them for about four years. I know a blade is a blade but I can tell the difference between the Feathers and Astra in the ATT. Anyway, more testing and thanking to do.

Hope everyone has a great Monday and I am trying to figure out why I am work so early. I hate time changes.

 

thank you Jason.the blade bank is a rare canadian one from around 1930..

 

awesome shave and pic Danny..good morning..

 

Very nice, Clint. You've got that Supply shinied up pretty nicely, too.
