Nice looking Super Speed. I think I'd call it a Bronze Tip.

A grand overhead bird's eye view, Steve. The circular array is quite appealing.

Thanks Ron's. Took a quick one because it was a late night working, but the shave was a great way to start the next day!

The cream was great, really great. Personally I didn't find it anymore difficult to use than any other soap or cream, start with very little water and add a few drops as needed. I did find that bowl lathering worked slightly better than face lathering. Well worth a try and it's not that expensive if you don't like it.

Thanks, I appreciate the information. I just may order the cream.

Thanks, Ron. Stirling Spice has been one of my favorites since I first tried it about four or five years ago. Stirling's performance has always been top-notch for me, and I really like their take on the Shulton Old Spice scent -- very warm and inviting. Absolutely superb stuff.

Traveling light and getting a great shave with these affordable, and lightweight products.

Nifty travel kit, Chris. I've never used a Dorco razor before; that one seems to be an older model.

Jamie's night shave....

Great close-in shot, Jamie. Neat handle on the GEM Featherweight.

 

[ronweston]

Excellent Friday, gentlemen. Photos, posts and comments were superlative. Thanks for all contributions. Loved every one of them.

Still have comments to make but I'll have to stop now. My computer has been giving me fits all evening. It seems to be going through its weird weekly bout of slowdown while doing things no technician seems to understand. Hopefully it will be back to normal tomorrow.

Have a good rest of your evening. Be seeing you.
