Famous last words.
Uh. The Tek. You are in for an end level big boss fight...
I've never used this pink lather creator, but from what I've read applying ZEEE-RO pressure is a smart advice with this mean shaver.
What's the precious from the waiting list? #inquisitor's grin
Cheers!
PS:
Out. But still shaving...
I know! But the Guido’s we’ll see the finish line in 2025!Famous last words.
I know!Uh. The Tek. You are in for an end level big boss fight...
But with ZERO pressure I at least have to try
. And the Roedter 1909 is not for sale anymore since the website was updated.It’s something from Theo #inquisitive wink
Still in
We'll do our best. That's the commitment, after all. But even if the spirit is willing, the flesh still is weak.
But... After I finally, finally, finally have been able to buy the Blutt BR-1 razor 1.20 I had been looking for for more than a year I feel I have scratched all remaining itches on my razor bucket list... okay, a Charcoal Goods razor would be amazing and there's the Osprey which at times calls my name. But both razors are damn expensive, so this likely will remain a "pressing my nose against the showcase" kind of thing.
I had put away some razor stuff for my 2024 GRUYERE ride which I haven't even used to date...
That should help keeping this Guido on track for the 2025 GRUYERE.
So, you've finally decided to go down the Ares road, I guess? I hope you enjoy that one to the fullest, my friend. SS? Brass? Or something even more fancy?
The special one. And Bronze - I am a shiny shiny boy.
And I was excited for you when Blutt became available. Enjoy!
The other two you can do without. Especially the Osprey. The Charcoal might become available through BST. I know a certain someone has plans to unload some of his moderns.
Still in - no shave today
Up in Irvine and Costa Mesa today for our final College Volleyball showcase.
I fear having to brave the Mall afterwards

Thanks Guido!
What's the issue with the Osprey?
I rarely follow the BST thread, so, perhaps shoot me a mail in advance, as I'll likely miss the offer otherwise
Cheers!
Nothing. Looks like an excellent razor. But you don’t need it. You have a Blackbird, Tradere, Dart, Vector and lots of wonderful adjustables. So what would this one bring extra?
Day 7, 22.6% complete
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: RR Lupo .72 SB, Al handle, Astra SP #9
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
I used Opuntia for SV Saturday, a dependable soap for trying a new razor. I stayed with the Lupo .72 plate, but fitted a light handle.
It has more blade exposure than a similar Game Changer, which makes it very effective WTG, but it's less forgiving ATG. The overall result was good.
