I love it. Others thinks its nasty smelling. I think its in the same class as the Veg, at least the reaction it gets when discussed.
Thanks for the great info. It is a Syncrokeen 2 (stamped on the handle). I did find mention of making blades work in it on the net.
Picked up this, I believe, Rocket for $20. Supposedly in great condition and w/ original red box with "Rocket" on it. I guess it's a Superspeed Rocket from the 40's unless someone more knowledgeable can correct me. It's a razor I more than likely will just try out as I'm curious about it but will probably sell off by year-end. Looks real purty though.
Make that two items. Tracking number showed that the Speick shave stick was delivered today. Going to give her a test tomorrow.............
Right now...five things; 1) A Gillette toy truck, 2) A very dirty Leresche DE razor, 3) A Schick Platinum DE - not in box, 4) A Gillette Rocket (I'm guessing just a SS 40's), 5) A razor lot from France
Have a couple of items on the way: SRD Modular Strop Kit XPEC Scented Cream Thuya wood & Cobalt Blue Ceramic Soap Bowls Catie Bubbles Bulgarian Lavender Shea Butter Fatip Piccolo Dr. Jon Hydra RazoRock XXX (original)
It's this one. Bought it for buddy as he didn't want my Grande Anthracite (not into black razors) so hope it likes this one. I already have the Anthracite and 3 Joris so do not need another one.
Just bought a Maggard MR5 and an Omega S10018 brush. And a new offering from Folsom & Company Shady Past, if you haven't tried F&C yet this would be a good time.
Btw, you might want to do this little maintenance trick to your MR5 handle when you get it - and before you put a head on it: Ungunking Mr5 handle
I'm thinking about putting it on the ikon slant? Or my Edwin Jagger DE89. I really like the look also, so it very well could bounce around a bit.
