Razor: Gillette Black Beauty (R2) 1971 Blade: Personna SS Lab (2) Brush: Fendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Horn Handle 22/49 Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Cool A/S: TSD 2x Iced Yin Yang I sure everyone's experience with the Black Beauty is different, however, I must say for me it is my favorite Gillette adjustable. I have nothing bad to say about it. This brush gave me a very hard time during the break in period. It just kept loosing hairs forever. It finally stopped loosing hairs and turned out to be a great brush. Have a great and safe Saturday evening.
Great pic. The blackbird is very handsome. It doesn't look to big in this picture others I've seen make it look quite large. It's certainly on my wish list

I just purchased a 100 lot each of Ladas, Voskhods and Rapira's. I wont be needing DE blades for........ever
