I love that razor so much. I have the very same but I put it in my wife's silverware display cabinet...:blush: To my mind, it's one of the most beautiful razors ever made (if not the most beautiful).

Result: 4.6/5.0 OK, where do I begin. I used the new Fatboy on Saturday and found it to be a nice mild shave. I use the Gold Super Adjustable on Sunday and Today. Also a mild shave. I threw the Treets in the Super Adjustable today. I'm trying to find the right razor for these blades. Guess what? They did fine in this razor. Three very good shaves.

Doing a Lime Thing today ... used my Vulfix 377 to lather up some T&H WI Lime cream ... scraped off with my Feather AC ... the blade is getting a bid old so I can really get a comfortable 2-pass shave with it.

Then witch hazel

Then TOBS lime AS

Then Nivea asb and a spritz of Dunhill for men. And some Jeris hari tonic to tame the mane. Good to go.
 
My shave set up for the week:

Olive oil soap, brand unknown, as a pre-shave (down now to a sliver)
Barbasol Brushless
1956 Gillette Super Speed
Crystal Blade
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
SCS Lavender Aftershave Milk:thumbup1:
SCS Lavender EDT:thumbup:

Man, my face is as smooth as glass, and I smell great to boot. The pipeline is a little low right now, so it is time to hustle up some more prospects. I hope they all like the smell of lavender!
 
Monday (6am est):
1WTG - 1ATG shave
Schick "Golden 500" w/ new Schick blade
Schick SlimTwin razor for upperlip
Plisson #10 black
D.R. Harris Lavender soap
D.R. Harris pink a/s

T&H Spanish Leather edt

Very nice shave to start the week. First time using the Schick SlimTwin disposable...not bad but I hate those "moisturizing strips"...

The D.R Harris soap and aftershave were great as always.

I don't use the Schick Injector nearly enough...a great razor and so easy to use with no irritation.

Have a great day.
