    I'm not sure how to feel about this. At first I was kinda proud of my restraint in comparison, but now I'm wondering if I have enough blades?

    Nice shave, Charlie! I have a Trac II handle that I should use some time. It matches the blue handled Surrey badger that I have. Was part of a set I got from my great uncle. Anyway, nice stuff!

    Everyone seems to have some type of acquisition disorder, Jim. Mine is blades. I think I'm finished buying blades. :innocent

    View it as a 'rite of passage'!

    I got my first straight from Glen. He suggested an inexpensive strop.

    Yup, I nicked it just like the prophesy.

    Thanks Perry. I'm as close to BBS as I ever get. It's really a nice razor, and I can see how it lured a lot of men away from DE's. It's cool that you have your Great Uncles's razor. Bring it out for a test drive sometime, and let us see it.

    I need some cartridges. Are the ones they sell in the drug stores or grocery stores okay?

    In all honesty I'm not too far behind you in blade inventory. My real weakness is soaps and aftershaves. I just love the variety of scents available.

    Great photo Jim. Sorry about the less than smooth shave.

    I can hook you up Perry. I buy them in bulk on amazon to sell with the occasional Trac II or Atra handle that I get in.

    I've not used anything except the Personna Twin II blades on Amazon. They're available individually packaged and in bulk. If you don't mind open trays, this is a pretty good deal.

    Sounds good. Sent you a PM because I need a couple of other things from you as well.

    Love that Rooney handle, Keith! I'm usually not as much of a butterscotch fan as others are, but I love the look of that one. I think I've asked you this before, but can't remember the answer- is it vintage?
    Nice looking combo! If you know you like that splash, 12 bottles sounds reasonable to me, Perry. What do you find different with the new bottles/formula that you don't like? do you think it true of all Fine scents, or just American Blend?
    I see the cold snap didn't harm the greenery, Clint! Glad to hear the synthetic Duke is a winner as well.
    Beautiful photo as always! Tomorrow's blade will be less harsh, I'm sure, Jim.
    Agree completely on the Stirling samples- both soap and splash last way longer than you'd think.
    Another very nice combo! Well, if you decide to move your Paladins along, Joseph, I'm sure there will be a long list of folks who will be PM'ing you!
    That is a very nice frankenrazor- love the simple Tech head and the common bar handle from a NEW is one of my favourites for sure.
    TGIF! The boys look very happy as always, Andrew! Love the look of the single ring handle. My OT is a 20s ball end. Do they shave the same?
    Very nice, Charlie. I received a Schich Trac II compatible handle from @John Ruschmeyer at our last raffle. I was saving it for travelling without a checked bag, but maybe I should bring it out earlier.
