    Shaves identical to the Classic Cobra but I like the feel of the Classic's handle in my hand over the king's handle but as you know the advantage is being able to swap out the handle. Going to use on of the Elite Razor handles for tomorrow's shave.

    •Personna "Star Trek" injector
    •new Chinese Schick blade
    •mystery soap (no idea what it was, smelled nice though)

    3 pass DFS. The Personna is probably the mildest/least efficient of all injectors but the shave was smooth and comfortable with no issues.

    a/s: Men's Stock North Woods deo (very painful but smelled nice) followed by good old Avon Leather.

    Primo, that is a beautiful set up for today's shave! The cased Gillette is a beauty, and you're the first person I've seen actually use a Chubby 3 Manchurian. That is a gorgeous brush. :D

    Thank you Charlie. My face needs to be as big as Andre the Giant's (which it's not) to really take advantage of this behemoth. All kidding aside, it's a magnificent tool that is like rubbing a bunny rabbit across my face. Lather? Enough for two "Big Fellows" pun intended.
