    Thanks Gary. It's a great setup all the way around, for sure. It's hard to beat the British shave creams. I will enjoy using the T&H.

    i was thinking about a 3" brass as mine has no plating left..nice weight to the handle too.the only downside is those common bar handles.deluxes are head heavy..just my op sir..

    7F3BED08-9676-4C13-B973-EAA8F9CBBC85.jpeg Well first shave off the road and though it was supposed to be a Sunday shave I figured one more day of fuzz would be fine. Today’s beauty is a 1966 Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable and a particular favourite. It now lives in its correct case which was sourced down in Texas and sent on up by a friend.

    Lots to mow through so eh A’crat dialled up to 5 and Gillette Nacet blade is a match made in heaven. I haven’t loaded a Nacet in a while and I found it both Sharp and smooth. Lovely. RazoRock American Barber was the soap of choice along with the matching AS.

    Lovely two pass DFS achieved. Lovely way to start what will no doubt be a busy week.

    I have the great fortune of owning two 64 Slims one stock and one Delta Echo Cubano Edition and this 66 A’crat. Also a very minty 69 Super Adjustable. They are wonderful.

    Used my '34 Aristocrat for the first time tonight. I like the narrower head profile much more than the '36 Aristocrat head profile. I received a very nice shave tonight.
