    Happy Sunday Everyone! We had a rainy stormy Saturday here in the ATL. Swati and I dog sat Cody, Maya's retired racing greyhound. Cody is not a fan of thunder at all so he spent most of the night hiding in my closet. Greyson, my whippet kept checking on him. Altogether it made for a long night for me. I ended up having a dram of some good Irish Whiskey. The shave this morning was a welcome face freeze. I think Maya and I will take the boys out for a walk in park later this afternoon. Take care and have a great day. ​

  6. I like the Torga pretty well Gary. The short loft is fine and I like the scrub as well. I just tend to use brushes with bigger knots.

  7. If ever there was stank to overspray and share with the county..... I agree Aoud Cuir D'Arabie.
  8. After a weekend using some soap variety it is back to the 3017, Razo Rock. I am using scooping soap out instead of loading directly, delaying the donut of death. The big Art razor is edge is falling off a little bit so, it will visit the pasted strops before it is back in the rotation. Wishing everyone a happy and productive week.

    good morning gents
    another fine waves work shave
    changing out the post shave products/razors/brushes keeps this 3017 tolerable.
    waves has a nice generic blue scent to it,that has lasted all this time.
    fine lathers also,just seemed better when it was new.or not ,or who knows..;)
    either way ,it's here till it's gone,then back to the usual..:)
    smooth 2 passer as per the norm with this fine aristocrat
    i love the flat baseplate design with the hidden safety bar.
    lots of weight,nice balance.
    rr blue to finish.a close clone to floid blue as per the description
    awesome
    have a fine monday everyone

  18. Thank you Gary. The bowl real allows me to tear into the soap using @Primotenore patented "Fast & Loose" lather method. ;)
  19. an early eample will have the gillette logo and " made in usa".that would be a federal set type razor or early 1930s.if it has logo,made in.. and patent #'s it's the reissue 1934 and newer.no pun intended.

    note the smaller apperature/indent wher the handle seats also.

    later version with patent #'s and larger indent.
