SoS: June 2021

That's a cool brush. Did you do the restore yourself? I just picked up 4 Ever Readys while mantiquing over my birthday weekend. I haven't decided if I want to try doing the restorations myself or not. My biggest hurdle right now is time...

Yes / no. My memory isnt the best, but i believe either Enrico or jayaruh cleaned it up for me but i set the knot. Ive have done several brushes before and its not hard. I usually send them out now only because i have items to barter for services and im lazy. Lol but its not hard at all. Harbor freight has cheap calipers to measure the size of the hole so you can order the knot. Use silicon to set it incase you want to pull it out later.

I have spent the last 5 weeks with the standard V3 Hawk and have to say that the OC version is a completely different beast. With the proline blade, IMO it is every bit as aggressive as the 2011 R41 which was my previous king of the hill. Two passes on 4 days growth for one of the closest shaves I have ever had. This is my 3rd shave with this razor and I have given myself a couple weepers each time I use it. I will give it some more time, but this is definitely bordering on too much for me. The standard version is mild but really effective, definitely a favorite.

I haven’t used the Enoch for a while and it seemed to be calling to me tonight. 2 days of whiskers was no match for the Enoch and a very used Schick Proline blade. I’m smooth and smell great for bed.




Happy Healthy Shaves all.
