Of course not, you're only buying vintage razors...

Great 2 pass CBS Shave today. Love this blade and the fantastic edge it takes. The EJ soap and cream is not as fantastic as the lotion but it makes for a nice mix none the less. It just does not get as much volume as I would like. (I could be spoiled. I blame it on Obie and Robert)
Have a great thurs all!

@Nic: My condolences, I am the comptroller for a Real Estate Developer four years ago I had 2400 condo units in inventory and selling fast…now nothing moves…its just like selling A/C units in Nome, Alaska. I’ll drink a beer celebrating your sale.

Amen Birnando...Well said. My sentiments exactly. Looking forward to a splash from you tomorrow

Jeff,
Sorry to hear about uncle Nick's visit, but it happens...it gets better though...waaaaaaay better

I use the Shark Super Chromes and they perform very well. I still had some rough spots after a full 3 passes, but that just must be the nature of the beast. If I did 3 passes with my str8's, I'd hardly have any skin left. hmmmmmm.

Mike,
Great shave buddy but I hope you are not going to give up on str8s altogether. My guess is you're probably using too much pressure

You just can't let go, eh Glen, LOOOOOOL? These Livi's can certainly hold a heck of a sharp edge...sometimes too sharp, I think.

A great shave, its a shame that this razor is unbranded as its a sweet little shaver, and gives a nice clean result.
