thank you Jeff.i like the shorter handle which will work on both.i prefer my gillettes..but the valets are fun to use for something different..

thank you Clint.its a cool piece.i read that the valets were prevalent in england during these times..

fine shave and pic Bruce..

Found the pictures. It looks like a very nice razor. As I previously stated, mine is has an extremely sharp edge and gives phenomenal shaves. I look forward to the shave when it comes up in my rotation. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Joe, it does! I’ve seen nothing but positive comments about the razor. I’m going to do the swap!

I’m a head shaver, and a big fan of the VC4. The VC3 is a great razor also, but the VC4 is the better head shaver for me!

very cool..

I’ve decided to go ahead with the trade, Gary! I never believed I’d be able to use a straight razor, but weighted forearms work for me!

very cool that you found a way to use them..nice razors..

A badge I will wear with honour.

I don’t believe you will be disappointed in the soap, Clint. I don’t own the Green Vetiver, but there are tonnes of fans of the Guerlian original.

Thank you for the nice words, Gentlemen.

My prayers for your daughter and the twins.

Thank you, Gary!

I am looking forward to trying the Desert Vetiver out. I have a pressure washing project this weekend. Everyone in the neighborhood got a nasty note from the HOA about pressure washing the drive etc. I don't want to be the last one to finish the project.

I think I will really like the soap. I have the Guerlain Vetiver EdT and love it so I wanted to try the Fine Green Vetiver.

Happy Happy Friday. It has certainly been a week for me. I went back to the Dubl Duck with the TnS gel boar knot again this morning. I loaded and bowl lathered again. Everything worked better this morning. I did have enough lather for 3 passes and touch ups. However, the results were still well short of my other brushes. I am just happy it seems to be getting better even if it is going very slow. Three passes and touch ups ended in a near BBS shave. I hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday.
