@skypsyd - Elegant photo, Dave. Hope you didn't use too much of the Penhaligon's for the Blasted Willy....

Thanks Ron, no not too much, but it is still probably the most expensive puck of William's in existence, LOL

@Smooth Steve - Splendid high angle pic, Steve. Interesting color. A purple Grackle?

Thanks Ron. Grackle is black - Maybe just a tint thing with image editing and image quality reduction for posting! I think a purple color would be cool though. Personally I think a lime, nitro green would make it look like a monster from the 70's!

@Ajwien - Accomplished high angle shot. How was the scent of the Formula T Sandalwood?

Thanks. It's a woody, linear sandalwood scent. Not sweet and no other notes in there that I am aware of. I like it.

[Rxdude]

@Rxdude - Quite the inviting shave. I envy the CRSW soap.

thanks Ron, CRSW is awesome stuff, the ceramic has le chypre sombre and had just a remnant left so i put in the barberie sapone. I see Larry has added in some more items in addition to his new premium line. I'm happy to see this as i will definitely keep some of the scents i have in a rotation, i just need to use up some stock!!

 

[Zipp]

@Zipp - Nicely balance photo. Like the looks of the Milord. I have one ... unused, alas....

Thank you, sir. You should use it. I was not that interested in buying and using vintage safety razors. First I bought the Gillette Super Adjustable (the Black Beauty), just because it was the first razor I used, when I was a kid. My father's razor. Six years ago, when I switched back from cartridges, I bought one just out of nostalgia. Good shaver, but never my favorite. And then... out of curiosity I bought more vintage razors. Out of all the vintage Gillette, Milord gives me the best, comfortable shaves. Seconded by the Fat Boy.
