My road shave yesterday:
2019 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Maltese Falcon Razor
- Thread starter Pepin
- Start date
If you're going to go out, I can't think of a better reason than a Charcoal Goods razor. My brand-new Level 3 straight bar in shiny brass was my exception, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. In my opinion, Brian Twilley makes the best razors available on the current market.
February has been a tough month for the team...
Yeah, I don’t feel too bad. I hadn’t bought anything new for a long time. Even prior to the Sabbatical. I’ll keep playing along unofficially but this opportunity just fell into my lap and I’ve always wanted one but just could never get on the waitlist.
I'm still hopeful I'll make it through the year, but the silver lining in having many of us fail is that the fallen help keep this little hobby alive. If we all made it through every year, the industry's revenues would suffer. Maybe not a lot, but somewhat. Or more. Who knows?
That razor is just a work of art. I had never seen one before but read the thread on B&B on the razors...
Wow, I'm going to keep an eye out for one of those.

well if we worked in sales this chart would be golden, we are gaining new accounts and making money.......however we do not........and this is a bad chart as we are loosing guys at a pretty steady run rate.
is that the mighty midget?
Looks like one that’s been reknoted with a badger
Can you do that as percentage of total? I have no idea how the total number compares between the two years.
That's the mixed version (Tasso & Setola) .... a wonderful knot.
I didn’t realize that. Mine is a “mixed mighty”.
IIRC two grades of badger.
I was catching up on my thread reading and saw that comment and a flood of memories came rushing in. I was an F4 crew chief in the late '70s, stationed in RAF Lakenheath. F4s were a PITA to work on, but they were a force to be reckoned with during their day.
