Razor: Clix 500 E-Z Flow

You know I love the clix. I have an NOS in the case and box. I'm thinking of deflowering it before the end of the month. Or I might just use my old used one. Either way I'm gonna get a Clix shave in for Vintage April.

The Clix is soooooo smooth, but still effective. A real pleasure to use.

David, you have an endless series of razors I've never tried. Some I've never heard of.

Amazing collection, my friend.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Thank you, Jim! I am thankful for the incredible wealth of knowledge here at B&B, and everyone's willingness to share that knowledge.

And I am in awe of your knowledge and collection of adjustable razors. Quite impressive!

There was a time when I used to badmouth adjustables.

Happy shaves,

They were just misunderstood razors looking for love and acceptance.

You know I'm a huge Featherweight fan too. Your going down my list now!

I have to live vicariously through you this month and last month as I'm on the road a lot. I can only carry a limited number of common and non valuable razors with me. Tomorrow will be a standard Brit Tech. I know the RFB, Flat Bottom and Hybrid get all the Brit Tech love around here. But the standard Brit Tech is a fine razor as well.

I'm a big fan of the Techs from their inception through the 1950s. Also enjoy the 1965 and 1966 Techs, but the older models are my favorites.

Yes it is. Mine is one of my favorite techs.
