    Well here is the answer. It's "swell" cause it leather sharpened. I guess I'd best go slow....

    I acquired some terrific razors courtesy of @Linuxguile and his Shave Shop. Really excited about these!

    (L-R) Schick Revere, Schick G4 '66', and a GEM G-bar:

    I received my new razor from the local Detroit Grooming Co. today. It was designed in the States and produced in Ferndale, MI. It's Detroit Grooming Co's "Alpha" adjustable stainless steel razor with a smooth handle. The razor bends and arcs the blade (not in a slant way) and the gap adjusts based on how much you tighten the handle. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning. It is fairly heavy and is claimed to weigh 220g. They packaged it nice and included some great freebies:

    10 Feather New Hi-Stainless DE Blades
    Razor Travel Case
    Detroit Grooming Co. Mocha Shave Soap (Coffee Vanilla Scent)

    Been waiting to get this brush to see it's condition, it's very good. The knot is great and looks hardly used, if it ever was. Made in West Germany, so 30+ years old.

    It made it just in time. I only had a couple of shaves left in my Proraso Pre-Shave.
