I'm in!
Almost like that citrus and black pepper shave soap you sent me[emoji3]
Yes, that one came to mind as I read about your business idea!
But I guess smoked black pepper would add a new dimension still. And how about a smoked tabasco / black pepper combo?
You could even make a whole series of soap: Pepper symphony; Jalapeño; Habanero & cayenne; Piri piri & smoked paprika; Italian sweet pepper; and the wake-up call "Red devil chili"
Err... Or maybe I would be the only buyer of that line-up. Stick to your smoked black pepper, Cap!
Cap, on Zed117's fatty, what is a "custom blade gap"? 10?, .5? 25?
I wouldn't bet on that!

Zed's fatboy is roughly .007 higher than the standard fatboy. So seven thousandths more
I am not sure what the "standard" thickness is for a DE blade (something like 4 thousandths?) but it's almost equivalent to the thickness of a blade plus a click on the ol' adjuster knob

I got caught trying to lather a mixture of seasonings and spices this morning
Needless to say, black pepper does NOT lather well
Have you tried adding glycerine?I got caught trying to lather a mixture of seasonings and spices this morning

I did some research on it and it is used primarily for polishing metals so I say that it's worth a shot!
You are welcome, Sir
That is the closest shade I have found to the Gillette "blue"...compared to the Gillette Blue tip cases.Great thx, i will give it a shot as soon as my fatboy is here....

After:
Received my F2 Fatboy yesterday from CAP and it's great!!! The doors open with ease! Nice and smooth!! They would hang, click and abruptly open. The safety bar was bent from what CAP said. Also, touched up the accent pieces and polished her up. The razor means a lot because it was my Dads. So, thanks agian CAP!!!

Family heirlooms are among my favorite to work on. When I am restoring them, I feel as though I am restoring much more than nickel plated brass. I am pleased to hear of your satisfaction, Sir. Dad would certainly be proud! Enjoy that razor, it will last for a lifetime.
You are, Cap.
That looks AWESOME! Thank you very much for cleaning her up!
