Same with most of the arms manufacturers: Colt, Remington, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Winchester, Springfield, etc. all originated in the northeast.
I think you're pressing down much too hard. The Fat Boy is a fairly hefty razor so let its weight do the work. Also use a good quality shaving...
Several folks on this forum have razors whose parts are plated with different metals; it can look really good. But I do think the unplanted brass...
Nice razor! Nice photo too!
I agree with you 100% and while TTO razors may add mechanical complexity I've never had one perform other than perfectly.
:) That's a very valid point. However, Barbicide, the EPA approved germicide, pseudomonacide, fungicide and viricide, and "the" standard in the...
This morning I decided to give my usual Fat Boy a rest and went with a '49 NDC Super Speed. Especially with a fresh, sharp, GSB blade, it proved...
As @gorgo2 implies, modern $300 razors are typically made in small quantities, milled to very high tolerances and from expensive alloys. Modern...

Welcome, but...you came here looking for RESTRAINT? I'm afraid it's in very short supply. ;) You're much more likely to pick up a severe dose of...
That is brilliant! Well done.
I really like Gillette TTO razors, and most of my small collection are of that variety. However, my least favourite of them are the later black...

I think the ASD2 has a reputation of being a beautifully made but somewhat mild razor. While personally I think it’s easy to compensate for that...
Purchased (Feather) blade bank. I figured the five bucks I paid for it wouldn't hurt too much!
