Beautiful photos,Gents!

Thanks, witeq! I like your photo as well. Very elegant and eye catching with the lively colors against the monochrome. Looks great!

Like that English Leather!

I like it too.

Brought out the trusty NEW LC for tonight’s shave. In spite of a sub par lather due to me trying to face lather, the NEW performed like a champ!

Gillette NEW LC / Feather
Doug Korn handle with Omega 10066 Boar knot
Stirling Bergamot Lavender Shave Soap
Fine Snake Bite ASL
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EdP​

Wonderful set up, and pic.

I can remember using English Leather, like 40 years ago, and loving it. Your bottle looks like an older type, is it vintage?

No I bought it at wal mart about a month ago. Smells the way I remember it did when my dad used it.

Going to spend the rest of September using my Super Speeds, techs, adjustables, and SE. They won't see any action next month.

That's what I was wondering, if it still had that great scent that I can remember from long ago. I think I will have to make some room in the ol' shave den for some English Leather.

Now that's a razor (and a blade)!!!!

Phil, is that Canadian one more/less "aggressive" than her US cousins?



BTW... great, now I need a Canadian DeLuxe...

Thanks, Juan. I've only tried one other NEW type and that is my LC, but I wouldn't say that the Canadian is any more or less aggressive.

Nice looking razor!

Thanks, witeq! HIBCO had it advertised on eBay and I kept looking at it on and off for a couple of months, until my resistance finally broke down and I hit the 'buy-it-now' button.

I find the Canadians smoother the the US but not as smooth as the Brits.

YMMV indeed... IME Canadian razors are noticeably more aggressive.. at least the ones I've tried.
