I was up at 4:30 this morning for some early work meetings so I haven’t shaved yet today. But I used my Schick yesterday (first time in a long time) and it’s still a great razor.
Stocks are holding strong—I expect a Clubman Pinaud after shave will be the next item to get used up but that’s still at least a month away.

Well I made it nearly 4 months. I'm out now!
Ordered a Gillette New Improved Standard.
Best of luck to all. I'll continue with the monthly GRUME in May.

That’s the general idea - better than the alternative in going haywire because you had one momentary lapse of reason.

Thought I'd pop back in and show what I went "out" for, my Yates Precision Stainless Winning arrived today.

Nice handle!! Enjoy!
Still in, had an uneventful shave yesterday
Still tagging along.
Lovely shave this morning with Samhain...doesn't exactly scream freshly cut grass and lilacs in bloom, but a splendid shave nonetheless.

What. Razor. Is. That?
Is this kinda like the Henson? As in it dictates the angle you must shave at?
