Thanked: 19
Prep: Shower
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 1 Best Badger
Razor: Joseph Fenton 5/8" quarter hollow
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Astringent: Osma Alum
Aftershave: TOBS No.74 Victorian Lime
Eau de Toilette: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Notes: Fairly good shave, reasonably close 2-pass, little sting. I like this razor - it has a nice heft to it and the scales are strong and solid. Could do with being a tad sharper though.
Castle Forbes lathers and performs well but I think it's slightly irritating to my skin. I think I'll suck it up and try and get a jar of Xpec when I run out of this.

Are we talking vintage 'refrigerate ready' refrigerators, ones for refurbishment, new brushed chrome or NOS '30s?

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I like to pretend to be creative. I'm really happy people here allow me to go off on a tangent a bit and not get annoyed. I've just had a conversation with my brother about exactly what I'm doing. It was hard to explain... Originally Posted by pfries

Yeah, you're right, maybe, however, does the energy expended in creating the new energy efficient brushed chrome outweigh the energy NON efficiency of 30's NOS? Discuss. 300 hundred words or less. Harvard referencing system. Due next Friday... Originally Posted by lotse
