    Alfred Newman & I completed a trade.
    His trade, a 69 4th quarter long handle adj.
    My trade, a 5 pack of CAO "World Pack" cigars.
    First impression, to say mint would be an undedstatement. Looks and functions like brand new. Not a single scratch, all paint and numbers perfect.
    First shave,
    WOW, with the long handle and knob on 8, absolutely the most comfortable , easy, rewarding 3 pass shave yet. As close and comfortable as my EJ with 5 passes and buffing. As close as my Gem mmoc without a single nick or weeper, The AV produced only a nice fragrance, zero sting. The long flawless, textured black handle provided incredible control and comfort in my big bananna hand.
    Al went above and beyond on his end. He has a taste for the stogies and I have a guy, so I will be sending him more. I couldn't live with myself if I didnt.
    Thanks again Al. CAM00194.jpg CAM00195.jpg CAM00201.jpg CAM00202.jpg CAM00203.jpg

    I was so excited, I forgot to mention. Alfred included a pack of Astra blades with the razor.
    Helluva guy.

    For me it's the long handle and balance. I'm glad you like it.

    Another nice thing about the Super Adjustable(Black Beauty) is they also come in a short handle version about the length of a Gillete Slim...Nice trade I'm glad you've found another razor to enjoy..:happy088:

    Yes, thanks . Alfred. hooked me up like nobodys buisness.
    I was born in the 4th quarter of 69, so aside from being in imaculate shape, The date is perfect.
    Just all around pleased as punch.
