Superb presentation, Steve. The Grackle seated on the unlidded bowl is an attention grabber. I've never used the I Coloniali though I have two bowls (one with a shattered lid!). Think I'll rectify that real soon.
I really like the unique scent of I Coloniali and received it as a Christmas gift last year. The soap performs great from all aspects and lathers really well. Because it is discontinued I use it as a treat on special occasions like Fathers Day today. I haven't used the Grackle much lately and I really like it. I think this is the first time I tried it with a new Feather, and although a mild razor, it worked great with the aggressive blade. I could not help but relate it to the OneBlade during my shave in that both razors are fairly mild but using a Feather to boost its aggressiveness. The blade exposure is just enough on the Grackle to get the job done yet keep it very safe and forgiving. The DOC is not as glamorous as the OB, but in my opinion is more fun and satisfying to use, while still being somewhat carefree and thus fast if needed. As a hobby, having a collection of various razors with different attributes is really fun.

BTW, I yesterday I just ordered the Tritium vials for my Charcoal handle. Purple & Green. I'm bidding on some vintage Gillette New Type open combs to use as a possible nice, classic brass head. Never used these heads before so it would be nice to add one to the collection!

After yesterday's shave with the Segal and it's proprietary blades, I thought I would go with the Durham Duplex this morning. I had the aluminum Duplex razor, but did not have the top cap. I had also found a couple of DD straight razors with the OC guards. My friend Bill puffed me the plastic handle razor complete with top cap, and Alan, the generous fellow that gifted me the Segal blades also gave me some NIB Durham blades. This is my second shave with a Durham and this morning I tried a couple of passes with the straight before I used the regular razor. It is safer to use the DD than a regular straight, at least for me, as I have not ever shaved with a straight. I have started to a couple of times, but always quit before I sliced myself. The shave went well with a two pass straight and the cleanup with the double edge. Again the old carbon blades are doing the job. Yes Vie-Long horse and Badger did a great job lathering the Panna Crema San Francesco. Finished with Nivea Cool Kick ASB, Clubman AS and 4711 Cologne. Have a blessed Father's Day gentlemen.
