awesome Mark..

 

the garage scent gets embedded if you do it daily..no escape from that..

 

That's pretty hip, Keith.

 

Indubitably.

 

See post #4990.

 

70+ sets?? Wow, Gary! You sure did make it into a hobby!
The Tech is a wonderful razor. I only had one, and gave it to a friend's son to get him started. I need to get another one back in the den sometime.
What razors don't you have, that you'd like to get in your collection?

 

Awesome setup and photo, Gary! The Lemon Chill sounds wonderful on a hot day like today...

 

Thanks Gary...that Razorock Lime Burst may be tough to "reduce", but it does its job.

 

Razor - Gillette "New" LC - with the uncommon bar handle (thanks Gary @brit )
Blade - Rapira Swedish SuperSteel
Brush - Stirling best badger fan
Soap - L&L (pre-Declaration Grooming) Champs de Lavande
A/S - Nothing. Cuz I'm wild like that.

No post yesterday, since it was the exact same setup as the day before.

Changed things up for today, pulling out the Champs de Lavande, which is a wonderful earthy lavender scent. Absolutely delightful shave. The blade seemed to be losing some smoothness, so off it went, into the homemade blade bank. The "New" doesn't get nearly enough runtime. It's delightful to use.


Have a great Monday, fellas!

 

Great shave and recap Jeff.

 

i picked out specific ones for the shave quality.some i have duplicated via minted cased sets.i would still like a #22 brit 2nd gen aristocrat .i sold my adjustables so no real interest there,toggle or otherwise.i don't have a president but have a u.s aristocrat so close enough.not really into the old types either,the couple i have are enough.so pretty much done.the only thing left is my "rescue a tech"obsession,keeps my hand in and there are so many euro versions not seen here often.i give the duplicates to newbies ..i started the brit razor adventure in honor of my grandad,who was an R.A.F. vet from ww2.he was a gillette man since the 1940s..the last razor i remember him having when i left england in 1980 was a white plastic handled one,probably a knack/slim twist type of gillette..

 

This is not about shaving, but I've decided to skip my gym session today-just too hot and ugly. Having been sent to the ER twice recently due to dehydration issues(and the last time the ER sent me to the hospital for a couple nights)I'm very careful now when it comes to the D word. Especially now, when we have to do our exercises wearing masks. I think it'll be a little more comfortable for my next time.

 

thank you Bruce.was the perfect remedy..

 

awesome new lc Bruce.fine shave and pic..
