Beautiful, Jim. I'm doing the same thing this month- 3 days at a time for a razor. The Tradere looks fantastic again. The soap and splash must be an older batch. One of your first from them?
Sounds great, Perry. Love the Revere handle. I have it in a Trac II handle, but not the Injector. Interesting that you say it is quite tame compared to earlier ones- even with the heavier handle.
I think that brass head looks great just the way it is, Danny. You did a great job on it. Which Derby is that? I had a few packs of Extras when I first started, but haven't used them in forever. I got a tuck of Premiums as a gift from Fendrihan but haven't used them yet.
That brush is always a fave when you show it off, Clint. So, is the Pils surviving the purge? Sounded good today.
I agree with you for the most part on blades, Joseph. I am in the 'it is either good, or useless' camp. High praise on the Beaume for sure. A few I've had are useless (Ladas, Merkur, Tiger come to mind) but most all the rest (especially Russian Gillettes…) are good.
Very nice, Pierpaolo. Where do you post your razor vs razor reports?
Love the spalted wood on the brush, Joe. As usual, hang on tight to that CL...
Great minds today on the Occam's, Jeff. Interesting you mention that it was marketed to newbies. When mine came, I think that is how the ridged top cap was explained, but not the regular cap. One bit of useless info about the razor- Classic shaving is based in a really small town in northern Idaho (Sandpoint) that is actually only about an hour and a 1/2 drive from here. If the border was open, I suppose...
Great brush, great knot, great razor...DEcadent for sure, Gary.
Look at that Shiv, Blair! Intimidating looking for sure. Getting the coveted SOA is always a good thing.
You are bang on about the Goodwill, Evan. For free then, DEcadent December now. I wouldn't mind trying one of the OT headed ones with the thru mortices either.
Yes, we paid $50 for a 10 ft Fir tree. Significantly more than usual, I would say. Saw some cultured ones at $100. I don't go get them 'in the wild' any more, but I should.
