    Last shave before my road trip and narrowing down to my Torrey Wedge and my Old Type DE for the next ten days. I will miss the variety of my shave den that's for sure! :(

  3. The Aristocrat has been called the 'Flagship' of the Gillette razors. Produced from 1910s until the 1960s, it was one of the longest running models.

    This is a 1946-47 model and is considered the most aggressive Aristocrat. This is my only Aristocrat, so I cannot attest to this claim, but it does give a fantastic shave.[​IMG]

  4. I have that one, too. It is my birth year razor, '47. It is a great shaver.
  5. Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower + homemade PSO

    Soap/cream- The body shop Maca root

    Brush- Plisson synthetic

    Razor- Mühle R89

    Blade- Astra SP

    Post- Cold water rinse, Old spice whitewater and Nivea ASB with 2 drops of homemade menthol additive

    4 pass shave today. 2 passes WTG and 2 passes XTG(both directions). Got a very close shave but I missed a spot ops!

    I love the maca root shave cream, it's truly amazing. I tried getting as close of a shave as possible, I got a bit burning sensation towards the end of the shave but nothing much =)

    Had a rough night. Chico isn’t well and was restless all night. Consequently I was awake most of the night. So I was groggy, irritable, and feeling rushed this morning. Surprisingly still eeked a decent shave!...

    It's happening at That Shave Life!

  9. Congratulations, Leo! I don't know why you would want to go to a cold place like Minnesota, though. Brrrr!

  11. He likes ice-fishing and lutefisk, clearly.

    Congratulations, Leo.
  12. how would one acquire lutefisk in central Florida?
    I go to church with a Swedish couple. they are getting quite elderly. her eyes light up every year when I ask if she had any. she says it smells like Christmas to her.
    do you know of someone who ships it to the US? is it possible to ship? is it expensive to buy?
  13. Exactly!!! My wife and I have had it with AZ! :)
  14. Thank you fellas! My maternal relatives are Norway stock, but I've never had the stomach to try Lutefisk!
  15. thanks, will look into it further toward Christmas. didn't know if you were aware of someone who ships it

  17. Once you try lutefisk (I have!), you'll be asking yourself, "Why?"...:sick007:

  18. I would be afraid to try and make it.
    but she insists, that it's good.
    would like to surprise her with it.
