Yeah but it's dirt cheap. I mean what else can compete with it price wise? Arko is the only thing I can think of. A local grocery store has it for 1.50 a puck I believe.
merkur 34c, Gillette black beauty, gillette NEW short comb and 100 Voskhod blades and a blackbird razor that i did not order yet so it will be a while for that one.
I was using Williams from the time I started shaving and only quit after I started DE shaving and discovered all the different options. When I knew no different, I thought it was great soap. Lather difficulty is a relative term. It wasn't until I started using TOBS and the like that I realized how great lather can be. Compared to the aerosol cans I was used to, Williams was fantastic.
Oops I did it again. I ordered a V3A Maggard Closed Comb head only. I have a MR22 handle that it will go with. This is suppose to be an aggressive head, if I'm being totally honest I have V1, V2 and frankly I couldn't stand them. I've been looking at this head since it was released and well.... I hope it doesn't end up in the junk drawer. More to follow.........
Got some wetshaving goodies ... For the wife! Ginger's Garden Flower Grenade tallow shave soap Ginger's Garden Flower Grenade aloe and allatonin aftershave balm She told me to pick out a soap for her that smelled like flowers and I am surprising her with the balm... Can't wait to get it!
A post-Christmas arrival: two lovely Japanese straight razors from fellow TSD member Mike (entropy1049); both high-quality and shave-ready! H Diamond 8000 (left); Fon Golden Star Deluxe (right). Thanks, Mike!
very nice, they are minty. but why post, has Christmas come and gone over on that side of the country?
Hello all, the last razor I ordered before committing to NB 2016 arrived today! I believe it to be a 1950 Gillette Aristocrat. The reason I say 1950 is the date on the blades in the dispenser is date code V-3. The seller said it had never been used, but it has. All the varnish has been cleaned off, and there are several used blades in the dispenser. It's all good though, the razor and case are still pristine. No scratches or anything. So I'm not waiting on this item anymore. Here's a couple of photos- Have a great Christmas everyone!
What a fantastic purchase, it's in perfect condition. Right now the aristocrat is my favorite razor. Enjoy Merry Christmas
Hello Robyflexx, thanks for the compliments and the Christmas well wishes. I'm very happy with this purchase. The last one of these I had I gave to my brother. I thought I was going to have to spend big to replace it, and although this one was $90, it was very reasonable considering the condition. It had a BIN before the auction started of $150, so I saved some money going with the auction. I'm happy now!!! Have a happy holiday, and God Bless!
