A very warm presentation, basking in the sunlight, Bob. And that is a smashing new brush.

Feedback on the razor. Razor is perfect for the top of my head it's well balanced and light at the same time. I use a backwards grip with the razor for the top of my head, kinda like how you would hold those head blade razors with wheels on them, and this is perfect for that kind of grip. Definitely a three pass razor with a few touch ups after the third pass but BBS achieved with only a few weepers. This is a huge step up from what I've done in the past with DE razors on my head. On the face it leaves something to be desired. It's a little wonky under the chin and the neck area, a bit tough to find the angle in the neck area but it gave a decent shave, it's not a razor that I would use on my face again... but it will be my go to razor for my head without a doubt.

Nice tight shave portrait, Sean. Too bad the Tech isn't a great razor for your face.

Very attractive layout, Clint? Has the performance of the Option 5 changed?

Thank you. I find the Option 5 to be a smooth and efficient razor.

For my first shave with the 1924, is used a GEM Stainless with 12 shaves. This did not give me a true representation of the Razor. I did a lot of buffing to get to my level of smoothness, which leaves me with some irritation. I lathered the HeV Cognac and Cuban Cigars with an Omega 10005 and finsihed with Nivea Cool Kick ASB, and Brut AS & Cologne. I will have to wait for my new Gem Stainless PTFE blades before I use any of my other SE razors. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

Nice close-in high angle shot. A new blade will probably do wonders for the 1924.
