Next comes...what third party handle should one pursue.... ...and how will one keep both a cobra and a mongoose in the same den....
This (seller's picture): Which, I think, is a very dirty '47 Milord (minus case). Am I correct in assuming that this is basically a gold-plated SuperSpeed? JR
Waiting on a tub of Acqua di Florida tallow soap from http://shavingshoponline.com/products/acqua-di-florida.
Thanks RyK. While I'll try the new fangled stuff as I can, I've decided I'll primarily be an old school guy concentrating on vintage razors (G2 Fatboy, TV Special, Ranger so far), soaps (Williams and Arko before these), Aftershaves (Aqua Velva, Brut so far) I intend to add some more old school aftershaves later today and Mitchell's Wool Fat and Tabac are on the radar. Blades I'll stay current and I hope most my brushes will be vintage reknots. I've got a Red Tip and a Tech I made an offer on and my quests will be Old Type, Leresche, Henckel, and Grand Shave King.
Following up my red tip arrived yesterday afternoon and I test drove it this morning. I think I found my new favorite razor! I had begun to hate my astra sp blades but now I realize the problem was I having to make too many extra passes on my problem areas where hair seems to grow in every direction imaginable. With the red tip I achieved a BBS easily with 3 passes and could have stopped at two. Great perfectly balanced razor and the extra width on the handle is well appreciated.
Got this today. The shaving scuttle is from Georgetown Pottery. It is a Second and I can't see any defects It was only $35 instead of the regular price of $60 The Windsor smells amazing. This is my first time with the MWF and the Dr. Harris Shave cream.
Thanks! I am still a true beginner in shaving. I hope these products earn their keep and treat me right.
We might have to talk to the FEDEX about that. If it is your's, I'm keeping it. . Tell them to send a second batch.
They are high quality products, should provide for some great shaving experiences. Let us know how you like them.
