adjustable week
Slant week
Tech week
neglected week


I suppose we ought to have a straight razor week, but that would exclude many of the members. However, I guess there are a large number of straight razor users we exclude on all these other weeks... But if that is what the poll results are, then that is what they are. Put it on the poll.

 

still $1.25 isn't a bad deal on a tech. Even if the plating is gone

 

True, but by the same token, not many people have Slants.

What would we mean by neglected week? Something we have neglected or some old neglected razor, ie scratched up missing plating?

 

Yes....something that you haven't used in a while, even though you used to love it....

For me, Institut Karite....

 

Alright guys and girls... Time for me to go strap on the feedbag. Keep the great suggestions coming and thanks for the prior ones.

When I come back I need to post in the BST forum and see if anyone wants to trade a O/C 1912 for a Shave King razor.

 

I will trade you

Yes, by neglected I mean something you have used but has been ignored and neglected for a while.

Agreed, not everyone has a slant, which is why as a poll item slants, straights, techs, etc... would be acceptable. If enough people want them as the theme for the week, then fine. If not enough votes than it doesn't happen.

 

It's not like you have to do every theme week....

I just think it's an option to spruce things up a bit...

afternoon folks. crazy day at work today. super bad weather and the power went out.

where did that dancing snoopy icon come from? I like it!

 

Hi All,

Great theme suggestions!

Back from the big city of Lewiston. No alum, but I picked up a couple new razors for the week :happy108 Have to go clean them up here soon.

1) 1912 Ornate Handle - kind of brassed, but should be a great user ($8)
2) Valet Auto Strop - perfect strop; 1 blade (stainless); in the box (cardboard) ($10)

I'll post some pics in The Haul after I clean them. Need to ask Dave about what I got in the way of an Auto Strop. Looks to be newer than most I've seen and is gold toned. I'll need to watch Dave's stropping video again too.

 

Oh yes I do! Remember... "But honey, I have to buy a insert_item_here, that way I can play with my online friends. You don't want me to be left out do you?" :signs136

 

Be sure and tell her: MsB says I have to!

Carefully calculated the distance from IL to WI.........yeah, I can be good n gone by the time she gets here

 

Good job!.. After Dave's video, I may have to add a valet to my wishlist. However, for now I need to stop spending money. Just wheeling and dealing with my current stock.

 

I think you need to sell of some of what you have so you can buy JimR's razor and a strop!

 

Fuzzy - first shave with lather catcher gets a big thumbs up!
it's trickier than the DE to trim around my beard, but it does a great job....and the catcher really does catch a lot of lather

 

Viva La Revolution! ::sesel

 

:happy102
Yeah... I sense a May sale coming up... I can't believe that after selling off all of those razors in April, I still came up with 7 I haven't used yet for New to Me week.

 

Hmmmmm....whatcha got over there...........

 

Good Evening JoAnna!
