I've had this for a while, but I finally took the time to put it together today. I feel it looks pretty sharp.

Nice setup Tim. Its got a classy old world charm to it. Did you get it made?

A Schick super 2 mint in box (must be from 1972-1974) bought only 3.30 Eur on ebay France. The guy's father in Law was a Schick demonstrator!

Six straight razor shaves and I am hooked! SWMBO and my accountant likely wish I had never taken this up. Me? I love it.

Over the past few days: Gillette NEW open comb, Shick L-1 injector, and two tubes of Proraso Red. All good stuff. I was apprehensive about the open comb but it was a smooth shaver, great razor for handling a couple of days of growth. The injector is possibly my favorite one yet, and the Proraso Red is great.

More stuff should be arriving tomorrow...

P.S. Tim, I love your cabinet/shelves, very classy setup.

Tom-

Have you found a great blade for the Shick?

 

[momo360]

from an antique store dowtown Montreal, had it lying around on a shelf, $40:

These guys I got off ebay $70, I wonder if i paid too much?

Tom-

It's funny you should ask that. It came with a carton of Schick blades that look like NOS to me, plus identical-looking cartridges of Ted Pella and Personna blades. I used a blade from one of the cartridges and thought it was a nice one, but I don't know if it was a Personna or a Pella. There are no markings.

I wonder if it's possible that the Personnas and the Pellas are the same blade?

Heck no! I found it at Target for around $40. I like it though.

I am a DE guy but I came across this beauty and just had to add it to my collection....
What the heck is it about us guys with shiny cool looking things????
Maybe some day I'll get up the nerve to give this one a go!!!!
The blade is actually much more shiny than it shows in the picture.

Yesterday I received my QED order of Tabac w/ bowl and a Mocha Java shave stick.

I was given a new gold Slant. Tried it this morning with AOS cream and a Derby. GGGGreat.

 

[Taz]

Had this pretty little Revisor but the scales were to light so I had JC hook me up with these beauty's changed the look of the razor so much really brought out the etching
