SOTD "The Veg" Theme Week 10-16 Mar 2014

Gentlemen,

This week's Item of the Week is "The Veg". As I am not one of the chosen, it is a free week for me. Next week, the IOTW switches to modern razors, and I'm already eagerly awaiting pictures and discussions. I, like many here, have my favorite. Until then, I'll start off this week:

Tried Tiki again today with my Omega Boar. Great shave. The Super Speed, along with the Israeli Red Personna, are excellent together. The 40’s Style Super Speed is one of those razors that just “feels” right in your hand, and always delivers a superb shave. I finished up with Speick.
