SoS: October 23, 2017 - October 29, 2017

The Paul Revere is a prized injector! I wrap it up with paper towels when not used - I got it with the blank blade still in not- not in package but never used with minor scratches from storage... only paid 25 - and it goes for lots of money from what I see. the Handle is really amazing It is ergonomic and I love the feel of it in my oven mitts

 

45 bucks shipped - his etsy shop is 45 for all brushes from what I see - he has GREAT handles and there affordable - I personally would NEVER spend over 50 for a brush - never mind 250 for a simpson - just a waste - semogue boars are almost all under 20 dollars and for ME the destroy the competition once properly broken in and ready to go. he has a etsy shop - just google Colorado razor designs - Scott is a great guy

Our very own twhite has made a prototype adjustable SE that I have the privilege of using this week. After a slightly rough start to the shave, I got it more or less figured out and now my face is happy. Tomorrow should be better as the razor and I get to know each other better. I'll post my experience roundup at the end of the week. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Before shaving, I noticed that the blade was split on one end, but shaved with it anyway. Didn't really need it, but went with three full passes. Ended up with a very smooth BBS shave.

Good picture and location Chris.

Looks like your tools are on a rusted steel beam.

 

thanks...they are

 

I'd like your thoughts on Tombstone. I've had my doubts with PAA since the strong belief that "Doug Smythe" is s phony name. But Tombstone looked very good to me-granted the expensive price.

First try of a Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow, following 2 consecutive Polsilvers. It felt very good. Extremely smooth shave. Wouldnt like to say better than Polsilver, but definitely on a par. Back to my OC too.

Have a good evening all
