As for the Blackie, it is nice... although I really would like to find a vintage Blackie just so I could have a pair.

Now that is just being greedy!!! Wouldn't we all like a pair of our fave razors!! LOL

Greedy would be a 7 day set of a selection of C-Mons (including one of those stunning stainless ones).

Tim,
Glad it worked well. Great shave today and Hulk would definitely approve with the following statement:

2-4 weeks is pretty good...it may even lead to something more permanent if they see you are cut out for it

I have seen one Blackie (7/8") that David (Bubskilz) has that I would love to find. There's not too many of that size lying around (I think)

Thanks to all of the Firefighters, Police, and first responders who so valiantly served on 9/11. Thanks to all those who serve in our military to keep us safe. Finally, thanks for all of the beautiful tributes in the SOTD postings this week. At our house, we spent the day watching the various tributes from all over the nation being aired on television. Our greatest tribute here "in the land of the free and the home of the brave" is to continue living life to the fullest.
