Just ordered 2 Merkur HD's and a Slant Bar from Charles at QED. The 2 HD's are for starter kits I am putting together for a friend and my brother who have decided to give Wet Shaving a go...

Since I was placing an order figured I would order a Slant Bar for myself.

Okay, so while it may not be earth-shattering, I recieved my long-awaited 1948-50 Gillette SuperSpeed yesterday!

No pictures, but you all know what it looks like anyway.

NowI just need to find a Wilkinson Sword Sticky and I'll stop buying razors - um, for now...

Peace

Have you used the Lightfoot's before/yet? I've seen this soap at the Merz in Chicago and have wondered about it.

BTW - Nice haul!

Okay, so the Merker Classic in the middle is old but I wanted to photograph all my razors.

On the left is a Gillette Tech, '61 I believe (G date code), I got this end of last week off of ebay.
On the right is a Gillette Superspeed, 57 I believe (C code), which arrived in the mail today.

I have not tried the Lightfoot's yet, maybe tomorrow. The scent from the box is extremely strong (Like standing in the middle of a Christmas tree lot).

This is why I haven't bought it. But if that scent dies down while lathering, and its a good lather....
