[BowTieGuy]

Nice! A workhorse of the rotation, which should be in everyone's collection. Thanks for sharing!

Nice flare tips, thanks for the show!

Stan, you remind me of B&B's very own legendary member JAKE..He always finds minty great razors too.

 

[Mad Man]

Oh that's pretty - out of curiosity how mild/aggressive are the flair tips? Comparison to the setting on a slim for context please (if anyone knows...)

 

[ERVARGASNY]

There is a blade gap chart here on B&B you could compare with but for me I would say a Flare Tip is equal to a Slim set on 2 or 3.

Thanks Alex that's very high praise.
I was able to pick up a "no patent date" double ring, complete with case, boxes and papers. Once it has been cleaned and pampered a bit I 'll post some photos. It is the first one I have ever had.

 

[Above The Tie]

Oops. Thanks for the correction. I have a bad habit of doing that. : /

 

[LiveOak]

D*mn! What is it about a necktie that makes razors look so good? I did the same thing in a pic I posted today .

I think Ervargas wants to buy your Bluetip, give him your ABOVETHETIE.com link http://abovethetie.com/?store_item=122&main=Gillette#

Stan, you forgot to email the pics of your Double ring with the ribbon. I guess you hung up and forgot after eating your juicy steaks.
