    Thanks for the kind words Ron. It's a fun hobby and fun to share with others. Hopefully it will help someone that has or See's a similar razor in the wild to have the confidence to pick it up and use it too. That's why I do the videos. Have a great day !

    Greetings,

    This morning i had to rub my fingertips with a alum block inbetween each pass to stop the hefty barber pole handle of the 98r from slipping while shaving.

    An acceptable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd President EdT to the pulse points..

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

    Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Razor: Travalong Travel Razor
    Blade: Wizamet
    Brush: Trotter "Dark Side of the Moon"/Cashmere
    Soap: WK La Fougère Parfaite
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Brut
    Fragrance: Brut Cologne
    Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,096

    Hardest part about shaving with this razor is putting it together. It wasn't a total hassle but takes some thought. Once together the flimsy thin steel is actually quite a solid shave instrument. Flat blade style that is very efficient while being mild to use. Nice little quirky travel edition to the den. The Wholly Kaw lathered superbly and was a perfect match for the vintage splash and cologne. Have a tremendous day everyone !!
