    It's just a cheap stainless steel one off Amazon, but I was surprised at how well it cleaned up (comes in all black enamel but scotch brite does wonders). Turning 55 this fall, I think I've reached the age where I can finally comfortably wear a ring of this nature...never owned a HS or college ring. Nothing from either I would want to memorialize. Just the opposite.

    I took no offense at your comment because I honestly didn't understand it, but I know you've got that slightly bent British humor. :happy088:

    Found a genuine Polish deli this morning. They make the best braunschweiger I've ever had and the most divine plum preserves with rum.

    Guess I’m on a different wavelength.
    I’ve been trying to get 100 soaps.

    Either that or I’m just mixed up.

    I used to like the unscented Proraso, before reformulation...
    Then I found Nivea, but it, too has been changed...
    A while back, I had a collection of the Art of Shaving pre-shaves, ASB's, ASG's, etc. All gone.
    Today I received this (vintage) bottle of the unscented.
    Pump bottle.
    Absorbs quickly.
    A little dab'll do ya.

    1947 Gillette Super Speed

    This razor is gorgeous for its' age and as smoothly as it operates had to have been "tuned up". Has a few dark spots I think will polish out but I'm not worried about it. Sanitized it of course just to be on the safe side. Looked up the blade gap and believe it should be 0.025 inches. Blade gap on this razor appears to be 0.022 inches on all 4 corners. I don't have a 0.023 feeler gauge but could not get a 0.024 into it. First shave was fantastic and slightly milder than my 1955 Gillette Super Speed that is set at 0.025 inches blade gap. I'm a happy camper!

    I'm one of the very few who prefers nylon.
