Thanks Jose'! :) Yes, I enjoy using the new and vintage DE's & SE's as much as the straights. It keeps my shaves interesting and different every day.
Yes, the Gillette is replated. I like the way it makes it look like its a new one. :D

Thank you Bruce! I´m very happy with it, it´s a looker (in my eyes too) and a damned good shaver. I´ve got a twin for it on the way (but I´ve sent it to Neil Miller for restoration), but that one´s in black horn scales and then I´m going to have them in a nice vinatge double box :)

I agree with Jose, must be nice to swing both ways, lol. Seriously though, I´m going to give the DE:s a one more try (got a nice one on the way) and I tried an Every Ready recently that gave a very good shave.

Welcome Back Old Friend!

Wednesday, March 23rd

Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: DR Harris Almond Shave Stick
A/S: DR Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk

I was feeling like I was neglecting my other razors so took a week off from the Sticky. The week off sealed the deal...the Wilkinson Sticky is my favorite razor. Period! I was glad to have it back in the saddle and enjoyed an excellent shave. The Arlington aftershave milk was the perfect finish for a blustery day (by california standards).

I like good razor porn as much as the next guy and you and others give it to me every day here, so it would be rude to not give some back :rofl2:
