I think you mean SRP, right ? But from the looks of it (and as Tom, aka Sharptonn, already mentioned), you already seem to know how buddy. If you see a comment or post you like, hit the "likes" button...SOTD decided to remove the thanks button (which exists on other categories) because some thought that the "thanks" is reserved for comments that are meaningful/helpful for the general community...so, SOTD only has the "likes". I say, keep rocking as you do and don't sweat these details.

Robert..
The razor was new when I received it..The seller promised that it would shave as well as many others..The Pink was a Christmas present that I enjoy more with each use..

Thanks for the typo alert..I've since corrected the error of my ways..

Beautiful Boker BTW..I nearly bid on that one..Its a honey....

Best regards,
Julian

The razor Mafia!
Until today I thought the Armenians only produce good brandy?

Tom,
I've been told that too

So, now I am not only the godfather, but also a Pâté (chopped liver)? This is just getting worse and worse, LOOOOL

Not a member of the Mafia, but you told me I was a Gangster, LOOOOL...so, I must be part of the mafia

Good brandy is what we produce for sure, but I guess we are trying to expand into other businesses, LOOOOOOL

And as promised, the Bengall Cast Steel from yesterday, still in its original horn scales.
Still some more work to do to get it shaving right, but it is getting there.

That Utica is one nice blade Theseus. Congratulation on both it and the Bengall. Have fun dialing her edge in

A fantastic shave with the Torrey and the newly acquired La Toja soap. I've been a fan of the La Toja cream and the soap is wonderful as well. The WoW finish is simply perfect.

Nathan,

Everything about this shave seems perfect. Well done José

That sounds like a wonderful recipe...Cloves/Cinnamon/pepper is a custom scent shave creme I had Al make for me (I love it...spiiceeeeeeyyyyy!!!!!). I have a few of these EOs (need some more) and will give this a shot. I am tempted to add some Aloe to the mix as well. Thoughts? What kind of ethanol do you use in this formulation?

Hey Julian,
I am sure this razor is not entirely faultless. She was after all, deliberately involved in a whiskericide, LOOOOL. Nice shave buddy

Thank you Julian...She's really great. I wish she was a 7/8"+

Better late than never Monroe. No one will blame you for liking Swedish steel. They truly are fabulous.

Venice is truly a marvelous city...a bit touristy, but fabulous nonetheless. Enjoy your stay and we look having you back. Eager to see what kind of Vetiver you found. Max and Matt are salivating here (I can feel it), LOOOOOL
