TIGER WEEK STARTS the 15th of AUGUST

[ivan_101]

Starting on the 15th of August we are having the second Tiger week. (For those in the US, where Sunday is the first day of the week, just start on the 14th.)
This year we will widen the range of blades used. Except for Tiger blades, everything Lion related is accepted. LEON, Lion, Lamix (has a picture of a lion on the label). If if it says or has a picture of a Tiger or a Lion, the blade is eligible.

Part timers are accepted. If you don't have the blades necessary, maybe now is the time to buy some.
And of course feel free to post photos (we love razor porn) and tell us how it went. Were you bitten by a Tiger / Lion? Or maybe just clawed?

Sorry, blades only.

I'm in. I enjoy using the Tiger SS blades but I think I'll see if I can find a Lion, LEON or Lamix in my stash for something new to try.

I got some Czech Tiger blades and never tried them before.

So this week will be the right opportunity.

I'm in !

I suppose I could play it safe and choose Minora:

since it has 2 lions.

But I'm in with the Czech red tigers since I've never tried them. I'm fairly sure I have a tuck of those and the platinums in my stash somewhere.

Most certainly. I completely forgot about the Minoras. But.... the discontinued Minora Platinums don't have lions, so they are no go.

After some serious thought 3 razors were chosen for this year's Tiger week. Green Cult, Merkur Progress, R41 (2013). All were loaded with red Tigers.

Is that the standard handle on the Green Cult razor? Looks nice!
