    Amazing photo! I love the mixture of textures and the similarity of colors. It also implies a story. Well done, sir.

    It is working very well! I am more and more impressed every time I shave with it. It seems to be very efficient for my whiskers and it doesn't seem to want to bite at all. The shallow angle it provides is pretty instinctive and the balance is fantastic. My neck is a cleanly shaved as it has ever been. Fanboy? Absolutely!

    Hello Ram57, here is a link to a buy it now auction for one with 10 blades. It is a best offer auction at $13.99. I bought mine from the same seller in an auction only format. I won the auction at his starting price. Here is a link to his BIN auction.

    Nice triangular Tech. Is it U.S., Can. or Eng. as I find having used them they have different levels of aggression. U.S.being mild and Can. & Eng. being more efficient.
    For many there is no better shaving razor, 38-42 forgiving yet providing a soft close comfortable close shave.

    Today I changed it up
    Razor- RED TIP
    Blade - Astra (3)
    Brush-synthetic
    Soap - traders joes
    post - witch hazel, traders joes balm
    - results today were fabulous! I nicked myself but with the overhang of the blade.. I was trying to keep with the 2 pass... But I couldn't resist I had to remove it all.... I did three pass with clean up.. Slight irritation but was slight.. Overall I'm pleased!!
