    OK so today I bought what I found out to be Gillette 1930's oc new. Just got done polishing it. A whipped dog silver tip. A merkur futur. And an antique wooden box that I promptly turned into a mini den. Used ceiling hooks for razor holders and L hooks for brushes. I have to stop lol its getting out of control already

    Since you asked:
    Figaro from ShaveABuck (mossy fern scent)
    Barbon from the same place (wet earth scent)
    The Real Shaving Co. 2X concentrated moisturizing shave cream from Rite-Aid (spicy woody scent)
    Maca Root Shave Cream from The Body Shop (freshly sliced potato scent/soapy clean smell)
    and any and all English shaving creams that you like the scents of.

    My scent descriptions might be a bit off, but that's what they smell like to me.

    I have the 2x moisturizing real. Absolutely hate the smell of it. Love it in the tube hate it once I lather. However my pastor said add one drop of lavender and one drop of lime essential oil and it smells amazing. So I'll be hitting up gnc in the morning. Or since I'm an insomniac before I go to bed lol

    Its a black handled SS. F3 meaning 1985 3rd quarter. Its my birth year razor but not quite my quarter. I'm an F1. But I love it anyways. Did my first shave with it this morning and I find it comparable to my 1952 SS but I feel like its a tad bit lighter. anyways gave me a 3 pass BBS so im not complaining.

    Nice razor.The SS is missing to me.I will buy one in the next weeks.These are very fine razors.Very mild and gentle,but keeps the shave BBS after 3 passes.I think the SS is a touch more mild than an Adustable or a Fatboy,isn´t it?!

    the mildness depends on the setting on the slim or fatboy I have found there around 3-4 depending on the year the older the more aggressive though I find the 40s style very smooth

    Found this neat Williams scuttle on ebay, it was $34 with shipping. One pesky bidder kept pushing up the price , I ironed him out with a snipe . 005 (640x440).jpg 006 (640x521).jpg

    I gave my wife a call to tell her I'll make it up to her since I'm still here at work on duty until tomorrow ;) She ordered me a Mergress, and I got her a favourite set of Manga from Amazon that arrived this morning and surprised her.

    man I want a mergress but my fiance will kill me if another razor showed up. Although when I see her tomorrow I'm really hope she has an ej de89lbl. I've been subtlety hinting for a few weeks now lol
