    I love it when a plan comes together.

    At the moment I find the Gillette silver Blue, can be paired with any my razors. It works very with my open combs.

    Thank you for this. I stop by Walmart on my way home from work today and picked up my $5 scuttle. I filled the mug up with hot water, placed the bowl in it, and whipped up a lather. I walked away for about 10 minutes. When I returned, the lather was still nice and warm. Great ingenuity!

    Must be something with the insulation - or lack thereof - where I am; the only way I could keep a scuttle's worth of water hot enough to notice for more than 3 minutes is if it were on a hot plate.

    It wasn't hot lather, but it was still warm...and warm beats cold any day.

    Does the job and doesn't break the bank.
    You gotta love that!

    I'm a newbie but the combo that's worked for me so far is my EJ 89 with shark blades.
    I'll try other blades as soon as my technique improves...but this gives me a close shave with zero irritation.

    Amen brother!
    And if you fill the sink with hot water and soak the set up while you shower it stays warmer longer.

    With the size of the sink I shave in, I'd be using almost as much water as I do to shower. :p

    My 1965 Gillette Slim likes Personna Lab Blue & Personna 74's very well :)

    Centwin Super Platinum are the blades I like in most of the razors, I don't see them in the shaves of the day, but they are nice blades.

    These are my pairings for now!
    It's nice to be searching for ideal pairings and nice blades
