Notes:

Summary. Fun to mix up the Athena and Fatip razors, but on their own they are both much more effective.

Enjoy your shave!
 
Time for a check-in. I've been focussed on the vintage and adjustable april and party modern may threads. Still shaving daily!

This morning's tool was my absolute grail razor. I have longed for this one for quite a while. Missed out on all of the decent looking EBay actions until I finally decided enough is enough, contacted a B&B member who's Gibbs collection makes me wonder if he's secretly related to the founder and creator of this beauty...and splashed a decent amount on it. I wasnt dissappointed. This old girl treats me very kindly indeed.

It's one of the two razors that I probably won't ever let go. (Gillette new FB would be the other).

Happy shaving!

Interesting handle there @Opolar - looks like a Rimei handle, but aren’t those M5 threading rather than 4.5mm Fatip uses?

Looks cool!

It’s 4.5 mm threading. Yes it does look like a Rimei handle but it’s from my Flying Eagle travel shaving kit. It really comes in handy interchanging the handles and using the container with the mirror while on the go. Well spotted @Guido75 and I think it looks pretty cool too!!

Thanks! So Flying Eagle is 4.5mm - wonder if that is their regular threading…maybe it’s better not to know to keep another worm hole closed! :laugh:
