  5. Yes, it’s a nice shaver, but really no better than the New LC, the razor it’s dedicated to. I’ll probably sell mine in the next big razor reduction.

  6. I would have liked the NY Mets one, but it doesn't matter because I am no longer a sports fan.

  10. i know you have your favorites due to blade exposure and all that.same with straights .the razor is only as good as the edge you have created and how you wield it.the tradere sounds like a fine shaver but is it as good as your silversmith or shake sharp?after all its the blade that does the job..i guess it is all in how the blade is presented..
  11. Thursday shave with a 6/8 Riga Razor. This girl always seems to have a wickedly sharp and if I can avoid the wicked point I will get a great shave. Another made by Jason brush with a silver tip knot from Elite Razor. The Garden of Bali is new to the den, enjoying the smell and as usual the CK-6 base is a pleasure to use. The shave was epic, two in a row. :happy093:

  15. Give me tallow, please. The vegan alternatives, loaded with Palm oil and Coconut Oil simply do not agree with my skin.
