@DabblinRazors - Excellent shot, Eddie. Love the burlap backing and vignetting. There's a couple of great peaks amidst all that creaminess!

Thank you very much, Sir [MENTION=107139]ronweston[/MENTION]! I appreciate the kind words!

Nice shot of the OC... looks really good. That brush though!!! WOW... Stunning

@ronweston, how do you like the Parker 24c? Nice shot!

I hadn't used the Parker since early May (!), partly because I had never really gotten a good, blood-free shave from it. Perhaps my technique is a little better, having tried various Old Types and other OCs, because today it performed very well. I'll change blades next time I use it. I had no nicks or irritation and it was about as close to BBS as you can get without being there. The 24C was the first OC I purchased. I'm not sure I would recommend it as a first OC to a beginner but I think it will be a fine shaver for me now.

Thanks, JC. I was really taken with "Spider Baby" when I first saw it. It's a great brush. I just don't use it enough!
