  1. You can handle it.

    You will be surprised what you can do with a grinder, file and a piece of emery cloth.

    Looking forward to the first shave report. I just hope it is not being transcribed by a nurse in the ER department. :happy068:

  4. eBay. A few Canadian listings of Shulton products lately. Much less frequent than US postings, to be honest. Decent prices, though.

  6. Fair question...the same storm got @Drygulch and @9nein9 in the day.
    Calling @BaylorGator! Perhaps we need an honorary Shavey Award for @Terry... is there a category for someone who cuts all the safety bars off their razors?

  7. Tonight I shaved my head again. Knew the hair growing thing probably would not last long. After running the clippers over it I reached for the Barbasol, the Rockwell 6c with Rockwell blade and went to town on the head and face . 1 pass on head and 2 on face. Damn I'm feeling smooth!

  12. This is only my second OCtober in 30DC, but the OC theme is a favorite. Love the Bostonian as well. I don't mine as often but I do love the look. It's one of two silver plated razors in my collection. I can't decide if I want to buy a silver plating solution or just plate them in nickel or possibly rhodium.

  13. Great shave, James. Many talk about the importance of using both hands, but my son who's been straight shaving for more than two decades uses just one hand. One of the best one- handed straight shave videos on YT by Larry Konis is here!

    (Halloween Face & Head Shave.)

    Greetings,

    (German DE razor week.)

    Since i was kid, Halloween night has always been something i've looked forward to it's hard to imagine around the world this evening that parents, grandparents friends neighbours won't be having the usual mass visiting Trick-orTreating presence from Wolverines, Michael Myers, Witches, Werewolfs, Mother-In Laws, Zombies, Vampires, Frankensteins, Mummys & Daddys, Beatlejuices, Batmans, Batwomen, Jokers, Freddy Kruegers,Chuckys,Jason Voorhees knocking on the door queuing up for the boat load of goodies people normally have for them around the world to mark this 'spooky Halloween Trick-or Treating event'.
    It's extremely hard explaining to some children about this Covid-19 pandemic madness. 'Ignorance is bliss for them'. Enough said.

    I've modified the normal Trick-or Treating activities for the evening and will be leaving some spooky goodies near the front door for the usual Halloween suspects to share & enjoy.
    Back to the shave....Another eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....The R41/GWS duo performed with sheer smoothness, mowing through my face & head stubble effortlessly....what a wonderful efficient razor the R41 is now that i have vastly improved my technique & gained my shaving confidence when shaving this assertive semi-open comb Fräulein.

    A very enjoyable face & head shave with no errors to report.Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap PSB.

    My face and precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the spooky Halloween weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
