Results: Bought this ERN in exquisite condition, from a member on B&B http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. A few laps around the Choseras last night really brought her edge back to life. Putting the finishing touches with the Escher was the icing on the cake. She was popping hairs with a vengeance and the shave was super smooth today:y. I loved the slick lather from the soapreme too . |

Result: | Today was my first shave with my new 1968 'N' Adjustable Safety razor. I was slightly amazed at the smoothness and speed with which a shave is accomplished with a Safety razor. I started on 1 and ended my ATG pass on 3. Smooth and irritation free. I had 20 minutes to shower, shave and get dressed. I made it no problem, even managed a 3 pass shave. XXX straight to the face and it was WONDERFUL! Happy Halloween shaves are great!! |
