Very sleek box Grant. Nicely done and glad to hear that you are enjoying your new venture.
Jim,
That sounds like a very nice shave, but I can't seem to focus on your DE when all those straights are staring me right in the eyes, LOL. Nice collection you git there
You bet...I think he knows and recognizes his blade, LOL
Hey Mark,
What is it that they have you doing man? But, at least you get to enjoy nice shaves (and new blades) with the extra $$ that you get. Hope you enjoyed dinner. Sounded yummy :-)
Hi Oscar and welcome to SOTD. Great to have you here and congratulations for ditching the Mach3. It only gets better from here on out (and addictive, LOL). I would keep it as a reminder of the old days.
Beautiful Bow Tom. Getting ready for Israel this time? If so, be careful...that region is fairly unstable these days.

Strop: Illinois 835Thanks for all your fantastic posts boys.
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Bengall Full Concave 11/16
Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
I just honed this freshly restored Bengall last night, finishing with my new Coticule. Judging from the way it was popping arm hair, I was expecting a pretty good shave, but I was plesantly suprised. It gave me an awesome shave, 3 passes for an absolute BBS. I've got another great razor and a great Coti. All this and I'm not even finished honing yet. I just wanted to feel what the new Coti can do, tomorrow I'll take it to the Thuri and after that maybe a few laps on the Chrome Ox.
Another sweet addition to the collection.
