    Wow - with a few purchases this week from Oscar11 - I had my greatest shave to date - have been straight shaving for about36 weeks - have about 40 razors - was led to the conclusion all my razors had to be 6/8 or bigger - bought 3 5/8" razors from him (fili-puma-engles) and boy was I surprised.Used the FWEngles special along with his boar brush(bottlegreen/white) taylors grapefruit and thayers witch hazel - had an amazing shave. Am not a photographer - don't know to rotate this pic but you get the idea!! A pic after I was finished engles 1.JPG

    That is some great looking gear. Love that bottle green color. Your title has me thinking i might have to listen to some Nirvana (unplugged of course) while shave today.....
