ATS 34 is what I meant to write, a stainless steel variant.

The MdC EdT was wonderful, lovely lavender scent. The Copra oil was very nice after the shave as well.
I wrote a little bit about it in the Aftershaves/preshaves subforum.
I'm on my mobile device right now, but I'll link to it in this post when I get back on my computer

Thank you Birnando. I guess ATS stands for "something, something Steel" 34, LOL

Hmmmm...I don't know either. Maybe Mark can chime in?

Oscar,
Me thinks that's a good idea...Any excuse for another shave is a great reason

As any who has this soap knows, its the real deal. Add to that a freshly honed C-mon and I couldnt ask for a better shave for my friday.

Amen brotha. Well said...and the SRD Rose is a great soap indeed. Too bad they don't have it anymore. I should have listened to Max and stocked up

Yeap...I know what you mean Jason. Blades will surprise you. It's amazing how a little refresher will bring an edge back to life. Well done and a gorgeous blade.

+1 Bruce...Heal fast.

It will never take the place of a straight, but then again, it adds to the fun of shaving ! BTW a Beautiful repeat performance on your SOTD Buddy ! Have a great weekend.

Hmmmm...interesting, but after reading what happened with Bruce and his SE, I am having second thoughts. This SE may be out to get me too, LOL

Thanks for the kind words. Have a fabulous one yourself.
