love it , the trifecta... so how are the racers? I also bought the 100 pack on ebay for less tha 10 bucks, based on the epic XXLPACK review... I keep forgetting to use one, Lord are my favorite mild blades and i am sure these are great

Like your artful design of this vertical layout, Jamie. Neat replication of the Crown King image which, by extention IMHO, gives your pic a 50's SF, Saturday matinee Robbie/Gort feel.

Thanks! Douglas has such fun labels! he was looking for the creature double feature theme, in Massachusetts growing up UHF Channel 56 delivered the monster goods , followed by kung fu movies.. I lived for those movies as a young boy, with my hand me down black and white tv in the garage.... we did not need netflix or the internet.. we had UHF! !!

Alvarez Gomez Barberia Shaving Cream
Floid Mentolado Vigoroso After Shave Lotion

This was my first shave with a kamisori. There will certainly be a learning curve with this one. I just did the first pass with it and then finished up with the injector. Nice shave!​

Such a picturesque high angle photo, Steve. How did you like the Derby Extra's performance?

Thanks Ron. I have been using Derby's for awhile and like them. I know some say they are junk, but they always work well for me. I generally get 5-6 fine shaves from them and they are nice and smooth. Not overly sharp, but comfortable. In the Wunderbar, the first shave is fairly aggressive. To me, slants in general are the DE razors that I must treat with the most respect. I have an X3, the Wunderbar, and the PAA bakelite. The X3 is very smooth, but can bite, the Wunderbar has more blade feel, and the PAA takes a delicate hand because of weight, but is very efficient.
