Jeff, @jgreenepa, can relate.

 

I miss phone books. :-(

 

I ordered it from https://griddlemaster.com/
They're made to the dimensions you give them. Measure the opening of your grill and subtract 3" from the width and an 1/8" from the depth. Reinforced cold roll steel, heavy duty. Mine fit perfectly.

Geometry was 10th grade math Paul. Algebra was ninth grade and Trigonometry was named after me so I should know it is 11th grade. Kidding about Trig! PreCalculus was 12th. Obviously, today's curriculum is a little different.

 

Leggo my ego! Lol! You really gave me a great lead in my friend!

 

I can't have that for breakfast! That's a lunch side dish! Lol! Now with that said, any other ideas for lunch on Jim's grill!

 

Thank you Jim.

Greetings,

My intention this morning was to carry on and use my Ever-ready 1924 'Shovelhead' but disaster struck!!.After loading the blade and closing the top cap, the razor head welding mount broke off the handle mounting...I consider this 'a blessing in disguise' as this could have happened in the middle of my shave which could have resulted in me getting a nasty bite!. Enough said... At least i still have my much loved 1912's & 1914..I now have a spare handle for my 1912's.
To carry on i used my Valet Auto Strop VC1 which was a wonderful replacement to keep my vintage SE razor week in the same theme.
Out of all my vintage SE razors the valet auto strop VC1 i find the mildest but if i was to choose just one vintage SE razor, then my much loved VC1 would be a very strong favourite along with my ER 1912(UK). From my maiden shave i found my shaving angle after a few seconds and was instantly in charge and at ease with this vintage lady...However i have said this many times, like any other razor i shave with either vintage, modern, aggressive or non-aggressive is worthy of no pressure and much respect and consideration if not, then it will bite!

Another effortless 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Everything in my shave set up worked together superbly considering the circumstances...

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Sorry about the razor but great shave save Barry !

Hope Evan is well. I need to order a couple knots and wanted to order the one for the the 30DC handle. What size is the knot again? Lost track of the order list or info on it. Any help is appreciated......

 

I’m sorry about the razor trouble Barry. At least you salvaged the shave.

Veddy nice shave Barry! Sorry about the razor. Thank God it did not happen while you were shaving. Have a great day!

 

Wonderful shave Barry. You should be able to pick up another shovel head fairly cheap. I know alot of guys got rid of theirs because they complained about the head holding water when rinsed. Oh Brother! Have a great day

Excellent shave this morning. Hats off to Dave, @Dave in KY, for sending me a sample of the Lakewood SOCP. I love the citrus/peppery combination which paired perfectly with the TDH dupe, Stirling Arkadia.

I had a comfortably close shave which has left my face smooth along with being refreshed with the Stirling splash. To top it off, SWMBO commented, "Love the smoothness and I really like the scent."

Have a great day gentlemen.

 

Very nice recovery shave Barry. Sorry about the mishap with the "Shovelhead"

 

Thank you Patrick..I'll keep browsing on Ebay to see if i can get a replacement head for it..The head does hold alot of water, but a few extra shakes get's rid of it...Enjoy your day. Yours=Barry.

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Very nice shave Joe. I had a soap sample of the Arcadia and loved it

 

Thank you Joe...As you said' Thank God it did not happen while i was in the middle of shaving. Take care and have great day. Yours-Barry.
