    Beautiful gear, Evan. Your Thin Handle is a bit different than the one I have.
    I can't imagine what your Grandmother is going through right now. Your family will be in my prayers.

    We’ll see; at this point I’m still a newb! It's only been about 6-7 months. I’m really enjoying vintage straights. The only new razor I own is the Riga 7/8, and honestly, I enjoy the shaves on my cast steel razors more.

    Congrats on your new razor Evan! Excellent shave, pic and post! The C-19 has played havoc with all of us. Hopefully, there will be many days of hugs and kisses from your grandma without this disease.

    Tuesday's Shave
    #OCtober

    Gillette Old Type
    Gillette Platinum (3)
    Wild West Brushworks 'Renaissance'
    Haslinger Sheep's Milk Shaving Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Barrister and Mann Reserve Classic Aftershave

    Each time I use this Haslinger soap, I enjoy it so much that I wonder why I use anything else. Then I remember that is just crazy talk. :rolleyes005:

    2 passes with the Gillette Old Type provided a very comfortable near BBS result this morning with no irritation or mishaps.
    The B&M Reserve Classic arrived yesterday so I was glad to put it to work today. It has a very familiar scent to it that I cannot quite place. Either way, I like it. Getting it on sale for $11 makes it even better.

    i am glad that most of these fine vintage straights and de razors are still around.in most cases they have sat dormant for decades.i have a 1940s british tech that was used from new until the early 90s for daily ish shaves .it's not pretty and very worn but works ok..

    I don't think there are many razors around that were made in the 1600's and 1700's. If they exist, then I would consider them showpieces.

    Thank you, Gary! Scent-linked memory is an amazing thing. I'm going to be thinking about it until I figure out what it reminds me of in my past.
