I really enjoyed seeing Scotty's coronation edition razor. Thanks for letting us share in the vicarious thrill!!
I'm gonna bust it out tomorrow and give it a whirl again with some crystal blades.. I'll let you know asap after that!
My roommate gave me some Speick cream for my birthday. Great cream, smells great, and lathers up perfectly.
Ordered blades on Saturday, Received them today. 200 Derby's plus the Derby Shave Cream, delivered for $24.95, from, http://www.shavingfactory.com/, used the BB code.
Yesterday received the mother load of shave cream- by far the two best lathering creams I have used.
Penhaligon's Castile
Taylor's Avocado
Made a test lather of the Avocado last night and used the Castile this morning- incredible stuff.
Many thanks again to user amann for the PIF!

Nice one Jakob, you really dig those things ah?
A short while back I was needling a member about having two of the same razor. I jokingly asked him why he needed two of these wonderful pieces of Gillette craftsmanship and history, when some of us didn't even have one.
Well, this proves what a superb forum this really is. Shortly afterward, said member sent me a private message. He hadn't really meant to get both razors; he had bid on two and had simply won both auctions- something he hadn't planned on. Well, to make a long story short, he offered one to me. The one in the best condition. Needless to say I jumped at the chance, having wanted one of these guys ever since I found out they existed.
Obviously this isn't a mint or faultless specimen, but I am extremely happy to actually own one now. And I really can't wait to use it. Funny that I am getting this before acquiring a standard Fatboy.
Oh...and the member was Slage...or was is RockerSlagg?
Oh I remember...SlagleRock.
You are the best Rob. This puppy traveled a long way from Japan to my door here in PA. I cannot tell you how proud I am to be a member of a forum with members as thoughtful, selfless and generous as you are.
Cheers my friend.

very very nice - I guess I'd take one of those w/out a case, too!
and a great gesture of B&B (bro-hood & bonhomie)....
congrats to both of you!
Thanks. Yes, but I really have no idea why I keep buying them. I just can't help it.
Maybe I have RBSAD (Razor Blade Stropper Acquisition Disorder)
Regards.
Jakob
stropper porn!I'll be over in this corner for a while in case anyone needs me....
Thanks for that link.
Regards.

Today brought me an N4 (4Q 1968) Slim that I didn't take a picture of, and this '64 ball-end Tech.
Still a relatively new wet shaver, about 6 months. Just ordered 10 Derby Extras and 10 Feathers as well as some coconut Mama Bear's soap. Woo!
