Hello kiruiz,
Thanks for the kind words. No, I still shave with the straight, although, because of the current arthritis problem with my hands, it is on the weekends and usually one pass with the grain, two the most, finishing off with the DE. During the week I shave with the DE exclusively, although occasionally I cannot resist one pass with the straight.

Joe, these days I grab the soap or cream that grabs my eye that morning. On weekends, however, I usually go with creams. There, too, what strikes my fancy that morning is what I reach for. Same thing with my brushes, although with creams I usually go with the softer silver tips. The boars are strictly with soaps.

Why I'm surprised at you Obie. Those be the ugliest combinations of razors I ever did feast my eyes on. Those can do real psychological damage to you. Just mail them to me and I'll know how to make them right again.

Which reminds me of what happened at the doctor's. I have tennis elbow even though I don't play the blasted game. I said, "Doctor, when I twist my arm behind me, it really hurts."
"Well, don't do it," he said.

Thanks, Obie. You saved me a trip to the doctor's for my tennis elbow, and I also don't play the game either. ;)

obie,

Thanks, globaldev. Of all the Edwin Jagger handles I prefer that on the Plaza. It's a perfect fit for my hands, and nicely balanced. The Weber DLC shave head was a surprise for me when I first shaved with it. I bought the complete razor with the Bulldog handle. I am not fond of Bulldog handles, but the shave head I felt was the perfect closed comb shave head for me. I really like that shave head. One day I took the best of two worlds and created for myself a new razor. I'm quite fond of this improvised razor. These days I mostly shave with the open comb razors, including three Joris models with different handles — and one on the way — and several improvised from the Merkur open comb shave heads. I also have a nickle plated Gillette Goodwill open comb shave head crowning a Bull Mastiff handle. Most of the other razors in the racks are idle. Yes, you'll do well with the improvised EJ Plaza handle and the Weber DLC shave head.
