1. Two different brushes Mark. The one I mentioned above is the Bob Quinn that arrived today and I will be using in tomorrow morning's shave.

  4. Early 20th century straight razor; American importer Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. (the eventual 'True Hardware' stores); German-made razor with spiffy pearl-covered tang. A $16 ebay purchase —cheaper than the original 1917 asking price of $36/dozen (about $40 per razor in today's dollars)! :D

  6. The R41 came and I understand about the less degree of risk. With no pressure applied its cut great and it is very hard to get a cut without adding pressure. I get a greater danger of a cut from my Slim on a 9 setting.

    So what straigh razor do you use most days?

  7. I use a variety in shave-ready rotation—about 14-16 razors. Each is unique and most have a different 'feel' than the other...

    The patent on the Merkur Futur expired a few years ago. There is a copy now made in China. I wondered what they were like so I ordered one. They sold me this razor with a Boar Brush for $21.93 with free shipping. They simply called it a "High quality male double edge safety shaving razor". I read a review on another shaving site. It was said to shave like the Futur and missed only the mark between each number. I look forward to seeing it for myself. The price seemed great. Now how will the razor be?

  13. Pretty good price to test it out. I've read mixed reviews on owner's experiences, but overall, for the price, it seems to be a fairly respectable knockoff.

  16. Triad Grade 5 Titanium handle. This should look and work great with my Mongoose and Wolfman.
