    Key statement is "It won’t shave I think". I'll say a prayer for you later hopefully before you go and try to use it.

    One other thing for the committed crowd, you need to make a slevette with another old type.

    When us Europeans are eligable for participation count me in. Curvature here looks a bit like an Archdale, and I survived that one.

    Note that I am not volunteering to take this risk. I've risked using shave creams from the 1920s, semi-congealed aftershaves from the '50s, and some of the oldest DE blades obtainable. But this one? Nope but like Plan says, there's always guys who will! (and I think that's a great thing)

    I’m a righty that thinks like a lefty. Lefty’s have rights too!

    The classic, understated, nuanced performance that Bill Shatner is known for.
    No one else is worthy of his command position. No one.

    The remanufactured slant jig is being sent to me, whereupon I'll do some bending of my own, and then get @Droo78 sorted out.

    After that, we'll see.

    I'm grateful to Tom for destroying his razors in the name of science, and for donating his time on this project.

    Edit: I won't be doing a pass-around, but we'll see what we can do as an alternative.
