    Right outta the gate, we have Gillette tough like that leading Aristocratic tough like that,, with Tougher Than Tough third. This could be a "tough" one to call.

    fall soaps are in for me now, woodsy, leathery tobacco, barbershop stuff, paired with a/s, balms and shower soap/ pit stick , edt when possible. clubman ,proraso wood and spice, dirty english,mb legend and spirit.. will stick with the nacet blade as i trust it ,with a smattering of gsb. may try the yellow sharp edge in the more aggressive old type razors...

    Hey guys! Notice he just said his AD's are at bay for the moment! All I can say is.......'sic 'em! :chores016: We have the enablers here to do the job!

    Nice group of razors you have lined up there. Your mention of the soap samples piling up jogged my memory of all of them I've collected over the past 6 months or so. I inherited the leftovers from the meet up so I have lots of those for odds and ends as well.

    The Sharp Edge should be a great match for those OT razors. Just gotta keep the angle under control and let the razor do its thing.

    We may have to set up a special judging committee if you start trying to surpass Primo. I'll start lining up the volunteers now. Just in case.

    I'll be joining in later with an old type Gillette inbound from the 'Bay in the form of a WWI Khaki set. Should be an interesting experience. I also have plenty of odds and ends soaps I can drag out.

    Thank you, Neal. I know you one very similar to it. It's a beauty as well. I just love the Gillette NEW LC and SC razors.

    Watch for me to make a play for a Long Rifle Soaps soap next year. They cut down on their soap prices, but not for their aftershaves.

    Great looking lineup for OC OCtober, Gentlemen. I will be rotating through two Wolfman OC razors and a Delta Echo Short Comb for the month.

    Right...even with the Maggard purchase this morning(18% off any Maggard brands), I guess I'm already looking ahead.

    Hmm, I recall you said the same thing a while ago. You must have a "Good luck with that" rubber stamp, and just punched the message onto your current post. Course I can't answer for the "big fellow" :D

    Well, it's about time you started buying supplies and shaving again, Paul. The girls at the supermarket are starting to talk about your beard over.
