1947 new/tech hybrid
derby premium
razorock barrel 24 finest badger
ariana & evans asian pear

good morning gents,blew the dust off a rare brit,the new/tech hybrid.this razor is the last hurrah of the new rfb,modernised with a safety bar instead of an open comb and factory plated in rhodium.this is the last of the machined brass base plate 3 piece razors.the flat bottomed techs and news were stamped brass,reducing manufacturing costs.hard to find and pricey,i was lucky to acquire this from a friend and avoid the $200+ u.s price tags these sets can command.there have been a lucky few who scored them as mislabeled brit flat bottoms.
..loaded the derby premium blade.these are fantastic blades and i have 100 on the way..smooth and sharp.loaded the new to me/just arrived a and e asian pear with the barrel badger.fantastic lather,and got a fabulously smooth bbs in 2+ passes.asian pear aftershave to finish...awesome.fabulous scent,post shave feel and performance.a and e are definitely in my top shelf rotation..
have a fine day everyone..
the 4 basic brit cap/baseplate configurations.new tech hybrid,flat bottom tech.flat bottom ne,new rfb..

Awesome shave, Jim!

Lucky find, Gary! I had a chance to smell the Asian Pear at Pasteur's, such a nice scent. Matter of fact, all their scents are great, I had trouble not buying everything

Good morning, fellas. I decided to go with a no-prep shave once again today and the results were very nice. A comfortable shave just didn't get as close on my neck as I wanted with the Astra SP, I'll try out a Gillette Silver Blue tomorrow to see how it goes.
Island Man is a great scent, reminds of the song "Blue Bayou" by the great Orbison.
Take care everyone!

thank you Dan,good morning..

That's a beautiful watch, Keith!

Thanks Joseph, but my Tabac inventory pales in comparison to my collection of dental supplies.

As you know, I don't like to brag, but these are the photos I've posted over on The Brush Den. Yes, I have brush and paste acquisition disorder. And anybody who has ever completed a 30 Day Rule knows that Russian filament rocks.





And...color matching...no problem.



I'm kinda well known in the dental hygiene community. This is me at the Arm & Hammer meetup.




As with all my posts, this is the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth.

Keep smiling. Back to you, sir.

fine shave and pic Dan..

awesome..

Very Nice Shave Gary!

After 3 shaves with magnificient goo, 2 with soaps, Patrick. In other words, I don't do "one and done". Thanks for the compliment .

I am, believe it or not, speechless.

thank you Myles good morning..

Vintage Williams~~Mondial 26mm~~Feather AC/Professional Super~~Vintage J.B. Williams Aqua Velva
Still playing the waiting game on my Gillette Canadian Tech, and, unbeknownst to you,
a Fatip OC Slant.
Until then, let's do an old school shave.
60 year old soap.
60 year old aftershave.
I am guessing, but they are mos def© old.
Traditional boar...not old.
Feather AC...old-style.
Menthol bombed the Williams with a few tingling drops of TSD's own M-Bomb.
Loaded the boar-bristles like there was no tomorrow.
Magnificent, fatty, shiny lather applied all over...my face.
The Professional Super Feather blade is a wicked edged tool.
Superior shave with extraordinary post-shave.
Keep your Sebum Gold, tallow Williams is still King O' The Hill.
Broke open a brand new, never-used bottle of the ORIGINAL Aqua Velva and splashed some on.
Booyakasha.

Final thought...I am I crazy, or has TSD been running unusually slow these past few days?​

@sparky5693 Bobby, can you chime in?​
