Thread: Great Looking Razor

Received a great looking razor from Lynn today. It is a Genco
and has Fluid Steel written in cursive on one of the scales.
The scales have an almost ivory look to them ( I know they
are not though). It appears to be a 6/8 square point blade.

Looking forward to Saturday morning when I can shave with
a straight for the first time. This will definately be the longest
and slowest shave of my life.


Regards,

Terry

You're in for a real treat, Terry. Just remember that good beard prep is critical to a great shave. Please post your experience when you're done.




Good luck, and don't over-caffeinate beforehand.

Wayne,

Thanks for your reply. I have been doing prep for several
months now. I have a Vulfix 374 Super Badger brush.
Now what cream to use? Taylor Lavender or Trumpers
Violet?.

I will report immediately after the experience and yes
a styptic pencil will be ready. : ).



Regards,


Terry

treat yourself to a Friday night shave....

I always enjoy a Saturday morning shave. Not rushing to work can take my time and enjoy it.

Decisions, decisions... I like the lavender myself. Women dig the smell.

Good luck! Hope the shave goes/went well.
