    PXL_20210522_195957751_copy_600x450.jpg The Box Has Landed! I am listening to an audiobook regarding Horatio Hornblower and his adventures during the Napoleonic wars. The ships cannons were referred to in their weights for cannon balls.

    How is it possible that this box is nearly 18 pounds?!? Wowsers! I will post more later.

    I might take the coconut bowl if it will not fit in the box.

    I will try to ship to @poppi tomorrow.

    I think I will put the heavy synthetic brush back in the box too. I know I will not use it.

    There is an astounding amount of SE razors in the box!

    That's one shaving tool I have never had good results with. The GEM type SE shaves. Don't know if it's because I never got a hold of any modern SE blades that were sharp enough to cut hair and not take out chunks of my human leather, or my technique. Now the half DE blade SE razors are another story... I absolutely love mine. Best, closest, smoothest shaves out of every razor I own, DE and injector. Never have tried any of the AC type SE razors but I am fine with that as that is just one more blade type I have to keep on hand.

    If you want to try an AC type razor, there is an Occam's in the box, with blades. Assuming it is not grabbed before the box gets to you. I had a Cobra and it shaved okay, but I traded it for something that I just can't remember right now.

    Well if the Occam makes it to me, I will definitely try it out. I was just looking at it about an hour ago on a site. Seems rather a lot of hassle with different heads and having to use that tool to load the blade. You know I am lazy. lol

    Hrmm... Perhaps I am mistaken on the name? The razor I have in mind just requires the handle to be rotated to drop the base plate and then drop in the blade.

    This is the Occam's I looked at and watched the first video on the page... 3 different heads and then they lost me at using the tool to load a blade...
