SoS Sept. 3 - 9

Rick, as far as colognes go.....I think I could easily live off of:

1. Brut,
2. Tabac,
3. Aqua Velva Colonia (Spain),
4. Bay Rum.

Maybe English Leather too.

Of Course, Knize Ten, Aramis, Polo, Brooks Brothers 1818, and some others are real nice, but not needed.

Result: 4.5/5.0 I cleaned up the 1954 Super Speed a little but it definitely needs more work. I'll be going to Autozone this weekend for some help getting the underside head rust off. I have white vinegar and Maas. I also need to get some Lysol toilet bowl cleaner and some Scrubbing Bubbles. It's time to clean a couple of razors up. The Super Speed was a gentle shave.
