I hear ya buddy. it's good to push the envelope every which direction one can

Thank you Frank...They're not all that pricey, imo ($150 or so shipped). You just have to know where to look, LOL

Robert, don't you worry, soon enough I'll be out to annoy you also.

LOOOOOOL. Can't wait to have you come out and annoy me. We can take a side trip and see Max and annoy him together, LOOOOL

Notes: The lather was also impeccable today, and the thrill of improving my newest razor made this a wonderful shave.

Sten,
Now that is worthy of a celebration. Congratulations on getting the edge that she deserves. Well done

I just had some surgery done, and have been told to keep it dry.

12 days? Uhmmm......good thing I have a convertible.

Gillette Old Style head on Star handle/Perma-Sharp Blade/Burma Shave soap/Omega Mighty Midget Brush/Polar Ice AS/Tet-a-Tet Russian ASB

Yesterdays shave with the old style was so good I had to repeat it. The Handle from the Star adds the heft that I've found old style's to lack. The Burma shave soap gives a great tallow lather with a very soapy smell. It's a worthy addition to a vintage OS mug. Too bad production of the soap was stopped over 5 years ago. The lather explodes like Arko, smells like williams, but is slick like MWF. A heavenly soap by my standards. The shave was so good, I broke down and used the Tet-a-Tet ASB which I ration and only use on special occasions. As I'm not sure if I'll be able to find another vendor that carries it since Britivia closed. All in all a remarkable shave to start the day.

Great shaves today, Gentlemen

Thursday
Plisson 14 HWM brush/Calani Oriental Plum SS/Muhle R89 with Gillette Bleue/Weleda Balsam

My Fellow SRP Members,

Thank you for all your birthday well-wishes. I am most grateful. You are a great group of people.

It is kindnesses, such as that, which make SRP, more than merely the original shaving forum.

You make it a great forum.

Take care--and continued smooth shaving.

This will be my set-up for tomorrow guys. Unusual to shave on a Friday, but had no choice this week...
