Bruce,
That is one thing your collection is not: "meager". You've got great taste and a good eye

This blade turned out to be very good, it looked close to NOS first, but then needed a lot of resoration to get back in shape. Now it´s close in action to my lovely Three Crosses razor though - A shaver

Mikael,
That blade certainly looks like brand new. Good job on the restore. I will look into the Nanny soap.

Homework...Yuukkk! Glad you had a relaxing and great shave Grant. Five hrs in the kitchen is a fairly long time. Congrats on your 1k post buddy (thanks Tom)

Awesome Bill and congrats on your 1k post (thanks to Tom)

Jeff,
That's a bummer. I really like it when family comes for a visit but hate it when they leave.

I believe they are made of Red Russet Acrylic. Glen did a very nice job on it, I could not be happier with this little guy.

Thank you, but I can´t take credit for this restore, Neil Miller is the man who should be praised, not me

1959 Gillette Super Speed Red Tip
Crystal Israeli Blade
Ogallala SS & Musgo Real SC Uber-lather
Omega Boar
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Brut Original ASB
Brut Original Cologne
Results: Slick & Comfortable! The Red Tip SS delivered a super shave this morning. These are the best of the Super Speeds IMHO and are equivalent to an adjustable set on #7.

@ Rene'; The Ogallala SS & Musgo Real SC worked fine as far as creaminess but, the Musgo overwhelmed the Bay Rum Scent of the Ogallala SS as it did with your TOBS mix. Maybe if the SC didn't have any scent the Ogallala SS's scent would remain. Dunno. Oh well, science marches on! LOL
Hope everyone has a great shave and wonderful day today!

Bruce,
Great shot. As for the Ogallala SS, my best uber with that creature came from a mix of Ogallala + CarrieM SC in Bay Rum. I seem to remember CarrieM telling me that she specifically designed her Bay Rum to match/compliment the Ogallala scent. I highly recommend trying it if you're searching for the ultimate combination that will preserve the wonderful scent!

Hmmm...that is a great tip Bill . Rene sent me some Ogallala stick and I have some of CarrieM. I wasn't a big fan of the scent, but it is slowly starting to grow on me. I think I will use your suggestion and see what happens. I am sure it'll be great

The TOBS St. James is great Rene'. I love the scent of it alone. I will use the Ogallala SS and Musgo SC combo this morning and report later. (Gotta have my Coffee first!) LOL

COOL! Thanks for the great tip Bill! I don't have any CarrieM SC but I am putting that on my wish list. I will definatetly give it a try.

Thanks Robert! I will be watching to see how your trial run with the Ogallala Stick and the CarrieM goes, as will Bill I'm sure.
