Thread: Sun December 07th - Sat December 13th

May this week see you ahead of schedule for Christmas buying!

G.Johnson ~1835, Baume.be, no splash.
The Day? Slush coming! The Shave? A pleasant whisker whacking in one and a touch.

The razor was my first rescale so long ago. I still love it!

Thanks for all the photos, Guys!

First shave with a slant, but not just any slant! This is THE prototype created by one of our more 'illustrious' members back in 2007 by mating the long, heavy handle from a 138C to a slant head using parts directly from Mercur. Seems the idea was so popular, production of the beast was begun from the factory. Great, comfy shave!

I would like to be able to pass this tradition on to my son or son-in-law. He passed away 43 years ago at the age of 51.
A week later I was in Marine Corps boot camp wondering what I'd got myself into, lol. Have a good one.

Your Dad deserves remembrance on this day ... and to have the remembrance passed along to future generations.

Thanks for posting his story.
