While those of us who are on the wait enjoy the anticipation, I think I speak for us all in saying the anticipation would be heightened were we to see some more pictures. How about it guys and gals?

I had my first shave with it this morning. Wonderful close shave with no weepers or irritation. Loaded it up with an Astra SP and went to work. It's hefty but very nimble and easy to move around the face. I view this razor the same way I view my iMac and Macbook, it's a working piece of art. It does a great job and looks good doing it

Holy cow, you guys are making me drool! Another razor to pick up and i haven't even come up to my one-year anniversary of wet shaving! Maybe my tax refund will be put to good use!
Laughter, love and shaving!

Lucinda heads were an engraving mistake. They had to be recycled.

My invoice was waiting for me when I returned from vacation yesterday evening. I posted my payment and am anxiously awaiting my shipping confirmation. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!

I got my invoice on Friday morning and promptly paid for it. Received a Ship Notification from Paypal later in the afternoon. I received the razor today (Serial #35) in the mail, all the way in VA (from Reno Nevada). That is quick shipping! I have purposely skipped shaving today so I can try the Tradere OC tomorrow on two days of stubble. It a great looking razor. It has a very substantial feel to it.![]()

The Earth spun off its axis today and it's now Chanukah (or Christmas) in New York. Serial numbers 32 & 33 showed up at my office along with a "sight-unseen" from Larry at Whipped Dog. Plus, a box full of samples from a member testing some home-made soaps. So ignoring the normal discipline of only changing one variable at a time, my plan is to use a new soap for my lather and start with the straight for the first WTG (partial) pass and then finish up with the Tradere. I'm thinking that I should stop by Pasteur's on the way home for a new brush so every item in my kit is new. The 2nd Tradere is for my son who is on the Appalachian Trail at the moment so his thoughts on the razor my be delayed a bit.

#51 arrived today!!!! It is very impressive to say the least. Tonight's line up will include
Pre Shave- Floid Sandolor
Croap- Razorock XXX
Post 1- Razorock Alum Stick
Post 2- Floid Blue
Post 3- Razorock Original Aftershave Wax
Post 4- Final Spritz Floid Blue
As a side note I have never used an Open Comb or a Personna blade, so I am anxious to see and fell the performance. I currently use 3 different razors including a DE89 staffed with a Feather, Astra or Bolzano, a 1963 Gillette Slim ( same blades), and a Boker Tree Brand Straight w/ Brown Micarta scales (about 15 shaves under my belt...and enjoying it immensely!). I will report back as soon as I can.
