Thanks, Andrew. I was fortunate to snag this one. It's my birth quarter, so that makes it a keeper for sure. I hope you are doing well, and I've also enjoyed seeing all the new goodies you are adding to your Den.

July 31st Cooper MonoBilt w Nacet (1) B&M Reserve Cool SS and AS 30 DC LE Thayers Back home and had a great shave before an early morning meeting. Off focus a bit this morning, but I hadn’t pulled out my beloved Cooper all month. I don’t usually do a full 3 pass shave with this assassin, but I hadn’t shaved since the weekend. I feel a little irritation, but am completely smooth. Love the Reserve Cool as well. I seemed to have a hard time staying on focus this month, but did spend most of the time with a few neglected razors and soaps. Another month of solid shaves, and I’m looking forward to pulling out a few Adjustables for the start of August. Have a great day all!
In case you wanted to narrow it down at all, the parallel grooves on that E would make it an E3 or later. Love my E3 as well. Many say the E2 is quite a bit more aggressive. Love the wooden scales on that razor,Keith. I’m biased though, as I like the looks of most finishing done with fine woods. Well said, Clint. Couldn’t agree more. A very nice picture! Sorry about the cut, Charlie. Looks like it could have been even worse, though. Travelling again, Brian! Have a safe and productive trip.
Thanks, Andrew. And thank you again for the Cooper! It really is the vintage razor I compare all others to.
They are very nice. I’m getting a tour of their facility next Thursday afternoon. I will enable you with pictures
Thank you! I’m actually visiting the home office this week, which allowed me to have dinner with family last night. Dinner with friends tonight
I need a new one..kind of. The buckle snapped off of it, but I just lie it on my desk to refer to. But I'll get a new one soon.
Focus Finale July 2018 AD A month of great shaves and not-so-great shaves comes to an end. A cake of Vintage Williams and a bottle of Floïd Mentolado Vigoroso left the den for good. I replaced the starting line-up with closers who were stupendous. It's difficult to choose an MVP of today's shave, so evenly-matched were the players... But "where the rubber meets the road" is the razor blade. The brand-new Personna 74 Tungsten blade came out swinging and mowed down the competition. Meanwhile, Oud has me nostrily obsessed. Burt is my long-lost personal fragrance creator. (More assaults on the nostrils...) With his take on Bay Rum, I am in heaven.
