  3. It's nice that you have a heart for the guy. Trust me, he made out on the deal. I forgot to mention that used cars are also the dealer's money maker. Dealer's don't care how long a used car is on the lot because they aren't paying lot fees like they would on new cars. Lot fees are a form of monthly interest that a dealer pays the manufacturer to have cars shipped to their lot on consignment.

  5. Great deal, Evan! The AC DX is on of my favorite razors! I would recommend using a Feather Proguard or Softguard blade until you get a feel for it! I use mine with Feather Supers! They are amazing razors! Enjoy your weekend! :cool:

    (Pre-Winter Solstice Shave)

    Greetings,

    A relaxing sunday morning shave.

    The chinese cologne soap provided me with a wonderful protective lather in no time.

    People are slightly wary of chinese shaving products of which i agree some i have avoided like the plague, as like many people i have been stung with some products in the past which have been for the want of better words, 'a dangerous pile of shite', but the two soaps i have purchased which are the Cologne & Blue's goat milk shaving soaps along with the Yaqi Katana & synthetic shaving brushes have been outstanding purchases...Even if the soaps don't show the ingredients i wouldn't hesitate to buy them again as they have performed superbly with no skin irritation issues or 'glowing in the dark' or have a developing extra eye in the middle of my forehead since i have started to use these shaving soaps...Another superb inexpensive shaving soap that performs way above it's price bracket.

    A wonderful 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

    My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

  9. Perhaps it's your angle, Danny, or lack of "momentum" with your stroke. A sharp blade shouldn't tug.
  10. Fantastic! I am sure you are a proud Papa. It is always enjoyable watching our children play. Even more so when they excel. Congratulations Patrick.

  14. Sunday December 20, 2020
    Pass 1 & 2 Razor: F4 Gillette Fatboy
    Pass 3 Razor: Cooper Monobilt
    Blade: Wizamet (2)
    Brush: Stuart Timberwolf
    Soap: Tonsorial Williams
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Aqua Velva
    Fragrance: Azzaro Visit

    Had a Williams shave setup with the Fatboy and forgot I was to use the Cooper razor after the Bigelow & Parkin Travel razor as the head with hinge is similar. Had the CG come in on loan for a shave and threw me off. Picture was taken already so just threw the Cooper in for pass 3. The Williams just gives a slick lather that will rival even the best Elite Modern soaps and it has a scent that is hard to describe.................I guess the best way to describe it is........................Soap. That's the only reason I don't grab it as often as I should. Well that and I'm down to 2 vintage pucks. 3rd on it's way thru the USPS. Andrew @Droo78 gave me the nudge I needed to break out another puck after I had 3017 'd one not too long ago. Glad he did. Hope everyone has a great day !!!

  18. Fine, fine shave Barry! Your shave highlights the point that it's not neccessary to purchase top shelf gear to get quality results. Of course, I will be shaving with my custom razor, Mad Max, today! Lol!

  19. Very nice hybrid shave Dave! I have used Williams in the past and agree that it is slick. However, I decided that after using 2 pucks of it, that I will probably never repurchase it again. It is diifficult to get a stable lather with my hard water. Have a nice day.

  20. Thanks Joe and fully understand. Hard water isn't an issue for me thankfully. Have a great day.
