First post on the SRP SOTD Thread. Nice to meet you Gentlemen! Have a great day! :cool:
Stroker,
I agree with Gardenweasel. Great pic. Great looking razor. Congrats!
I also like the fact that your shave includes a bottle of Mennen Skin Bracer. I was wondering is anybody here at SRP used it.
Stroker
+1 from me buddy, welcome to the SOTD Brutha Hood
Best regards

Thanks a lot Guys for the warm welcome! Yes JHenry, I like the Mennen Skin Bracer; it reminds me of my Dad. Saw it in the store and sort of re-discovered it. I'm pretty "old School" and I like the vintage scents as well as the newer ones. Great forum here! More orientated to the straight razor; I like that! :)

I am starting to seriously like CarrieM's creams. This one has a pleasant green, and an equally pleasant smell. Latherability is excellent, and it has a stunning cooling effect. I think I'll have a tub for the summer...

I have included with the pic two price lists from 1957 and 1962 which were displayed in New Jersey barbershops. Compare the price of a shave how it had increased in just five years. Hourly wages in 1957 were $1.00 and in 1962 $1.25. I guess is just the accountant in me. SHAVE ON.
