Thank you, I really enjoy it. I think it is one if the coolest looking vintage Gillettes, although I am quite partial to the Executive's looks. I loved the spiraled knurled barrel.

Prep: Hot Shower / Barbasol Lather soak with Hot Towel / Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rub 1st pass, Rise baby face rub for 2nd pass. Razor: 6/8 Genco Henry's XX fresh from the Stones Hones: Bevel 1k, Pyramid 4/8k, 75 laps Cnat with slurry, 5 Diamond, 10 CrOx, 25 Clean felt, 100 Horsehide, 100 Chestnut Brush: 24mm Silvertip in Honey Locust Uber: Sir Irisch Moos AS: Alum Block + OBR Sandalwood Edc: OBR Original Cologne Result: This razor was one of my best restorations ever, an EBay rescue that Logistics honed for me at the Denver meetup last July. Since then I managed to pretty well roll the edge in my stropping learning days, so it hadn't seen a lot of use for the last 6-8 months. Now that I am developing some honing skills (not developed, developing!! LOL) I thought I would take a chance on honing up one of my more 'precious' razors. She was shaving heaven. I managed to do a decent job honing her, and the edge was quite comfortable and smooth. Amazingly, no irritation or nicks, weepers or bleeders. Now that's a success in my book!! I love the OBR in all it's flavors, as does SWMBO.
Happy Shaving Gents!!

Well the trip to Sydney Children's Hospital was a little anti-climactic.
The conversation we had with the doctors a few weeks ago was that Jack would be finishing his Chemo on Monday night, having a bone marrow test on Tuesday and that would be the end of his treatment.
When we saw the professor on Tuesday he decided to continue the Chemo for another 8 weeks. Its not a big deal, and I know its in his best interest, but the whole family was mentally prepared to be finished with the Chemo yesterday, we even had celebrations planned for when we arrived home today.
Plus being back in the kids cancer ward was MUCH harder than I expected. Seeing all the new faces, the next generation of kids and their families going down that road was awful, I was fighting tears the whole time.
Sorry to sound so bummed guys, Its just I've been putting on a brave face and a positive attitude for 2 years and 2 days, and some days this shit just gets to you.
Talk to me on Friday after we get the all clear on the bone marrow test and I'm sure I'll be much happier.
...Anyway a quality shave helped improve my mood.
I went with some old friends. The Proraso was my first good soap, the Gotta was one of my first razors, the Illinois my first strop.
All ingredients from the pre-Leukemia days. I found some comfort in that.
3 great passes for a fantastic BBS
Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys

Sorry the pic is a bit out of focus, I didn't realize until I pulled it down off the iPhone...
