    Surprised to hear that the Simfix has different bristles, than the Simpson Synthetics. Thanks for the comparison Jared, good to know.

    Love the bronze Timeless! Sorry about the blades.
    Yet another stunning vintage handle, Mark. That rubberset looks unused.
    The sheep version is excellent, Jim, and every bit as strongly scented, I can assure you.

    It was all that talk about Simpson Best hair. Putting my money where my mouth is.

    Welcome @stanko! You picked a great razor for a 30 Day Rule. Are you going to do a full Rule; same soap, brush. & blade?

    (If y'all haven't yet, watch his video. It's a cliff hanger...)

    There was a time when I was a pretty big fan of those blades. Then I sort of went in other directions. Haven’t used one for years, but I have a pile of them. Maybe I will grab a tuck to put in my dopp bag.

    I would consider it vintage. It’s probably older than you are.

    I am not sure it is still that strong? Maybe, it’s pretty stout, for sure. Definitely a favorite. I will need to get another tub, and more AS when it comes back in the spring.

    I figure something had to be different in order to justify the cost difference. The handle is almost identical to the Duke, and it’s less than half the price.

    Great looking lineup Mark. The 400 and OneBlade look good together.


    Thank you Mark.

    Great lineup and photo Jim. You'll be through the soap in no time.

    That 400 did turn out great. That handle has many hours of sanding and polishing to get to that point. Not to mention the number of adult beverages consumed.

    Thanks Jared. I am barely on the board this year. We have a crew full of soap destroyers ahead of me.

    Thanks, guys! I was really impressed with the overall feel of the Parker SRX. It was a lot easier to use than the Feather Artist Club SS. This will be a fun focus.

    Perhaps, but I remember it from this Bob Nelson routine. Warning, language NSFW.

    Thank you, Clint! I have to admit, I am loading more heavily now. After the drawer the runneth over with soap, I realized there was no point in holding back.
