    Felt like I needed to find out how a $100 cartridge razor feels like...especially since I found a NIB one for $23.

    I know, I know, but I have a soft spot for these style of brush handles. At the price I bought it half of what the handle sells for and knot basically tossed in for free. I need someone to lockout my palpal account as I am too weak to do so myself. LOL

    A quick update...

    The Slim and the FrankenOld showed up on Friday. Here's the results after a long, hot soak and some minor polishing:
    razors.jpg

    The OT is actually in decent shape except for the bent corner teeth. It looks like the handle was originally nickel=plated, but there is only hints of that left. The overall effect from polishing it, though, is almost a rose-gold appearance.

    The Slim has to have been the dirtiest razor I've ever seen, especially inside the bay doors. The good news is that both the adjusting mechanism and the TTO doors work smoothly and well; everything also appears to be aligned correctly. The bad news is that there is lots of plate loss and brassing. FWIW, it has an H2 date code.

    I had my first shave with the Slim today using a conservative setting of '3' and a new Astra SP. Very smooth and overall a nice CCS. Tomorrow, we'll try a setting of '4'.

    Only made one purchase this weekend but something I'm pretty happy about - a gold DeHaven in case.
    You don't see the gold version too often at all.
