Maybe! That's a lot of Derby!

Interesting. ...tech= ? Which?

would these be the same for a Slim?

very classy Gary. I think I have some T&H somewhere, worth comparing to TOBS.

Lovely evening shave Joe. I don't often shave in the evening.

Super Treet shave once again.

Very nice shave and setup Barry.

Thanks Chris.

Thank you Joe.

It was a "Super Treet " shave once again. I've enjoyed my Subcontinent DE blade focus. I will continue in April with the addition of my Russian, Korean, & Chinese DE blades that I've infrequently used.

Send it to me...

thank you Chris.
-tech=3.
-slim?,no.the slim has more aggressive settings.the fat boy was made to replace the flare tip trio,all in one.the slim was made to be better than the fatboy and the flare tip trio weren't made anymore at that point..
-i think the t&h is a little more refined imo,maybe it's just the pricepoint is higher..

A great Throwback Thursday shave.I'm on a roll, as that makes two Throwback Thursday great shaves in a row. I did develop a Knick down at Cactus Nation during the first pass, but it calmed down for the rest of the shave and was dealt with by the cold-water rinse afterwards. But back to the shave, nice work everywhere except Cactus. I made sure to get that nasty right-side jawline area. Ramblin Man is a great offering from Stoylin. I think it's a cologne dupe although I forget which one offhand. 2 passes(as indicated above). No cuts, Polka-dots, and the one Knick. I simply failed to clear the speed bump down there, which caused the New Yorker. Super Duper Outstanding.

fine brut shave and pic Barry.

Lol! that could be Plan B...

...however, Plan A is in the offing, hopefully in the next few days...

Fine setup, cool shave description and lovely minimalistic pic with no labels!

Thank you Gary. You can't beat a splash of brut! Brut Cologne Commercial From 1987 "It Smells Like A Man" (youtube.com)

thanks Gary, you are a wealth of info

That Brut ad sounded like it could have been done in the 1950's or 40's, not 1987. Which is fine, of course.

thank you Chris.i guess showing the labels on shave pics helps some folks imagine the shave as they may have the same said products.to others an advertising bill board..in reality,after a while most labels fell off bottles,and soap was just soap.

thank you Chrisi kew very little about shaving until i landed here..all i knew was that i hated cart razors and rarely shaved.that was back in 2016.
