SOTD "Favorite Razors Theme Week" August 3-9, 2015

Feather AS-D2 (with Feather Hi-Stainless blade), Edwin Jagger Kelivn (Astra SP blade) and Schick Krona (early 70's I think...has Schick stamped into the cap doors) with Personna BLs or Astras.

Thank you very much for your kind words in last weeks thread Celestino and Dave!

A Feather razor (3 pieces)

With a Laser blade( I think it's an OK blade)

Monday:

Semogue OC 2-B
Institut Karité soap
Gillette Goodwill 162
Timor
Santa Maria Novella Lavanda ***
Santa maria Novella Acqua di Sicilia EdT

A smooth shaver, everything is excellent bar none.
And it's also stainless.

And so much razor needs to be in good company. Yes today it's I excellent company, with top class software like Captains Choice Lime Soap and Stirling Balm.

Blades: Bolzano SuperInox (1)
Soap: Captains Choice Lime
AS: Proraso Splash / I Stirling Lemon Chill Bakm

For the fit and feel, and of course because it's vintage I have to say overall the Early Tech is probably my favorite razor.
The Merkur may have a SLIGHT edge on efficiency, but it's only very subtle. I like my 'morrow to be yestermorrow.
