And I'm excited

I was really wanting to get my hands on that "Major" razor after I missed the sale the Colonel had in their area on here. I had no idea how excited I would be when I realized how close it was to my fav setup

That's my fav setup with a Weber? handle. I can't believe The Colonel would go aggressive, when it's so easy to go low profile. Im excited to give this a shot. I kept reading it was nice for its price.... That's wrong, it's just nice. Love it's satin look.

The cream smells great, it's a cream a little along the lines of castle forbes as it is slightly hard. It's test lather made me open an eye as it was great.

The aftershave I haven't tried yet as I haven't shaved yet, but matched the scent of the cream. The pre oil has a spearmint type scent seems nice.

And even the bowl and it's iff white seems nice.

I need a shave, and this is the first New stuff I've had in a while. I'm excited

First shave done. Looks like I have some reviews to do. FYI for the short version, Cream is good, not as hard as I thought, works great. Brush is as advertised, a bit floppy, but nice for its price. Pre shave smells nice. Aftershave seems great. The razor may be one of my new not vintage favourite razors, I mean I had to buy a custom handle to make my other set up a winner, this is a bit longer and I like it more

Yay me, I'm the real winner here lol

Pure class. Bidded on the Remembering Sue brush (2013) upper right. Rest of the bounty a huge surprise. Immaculate hand scripted/'calligraphied' thank you note, 10th anniversary brush (2015) far left, St. Charles Shave soaps made by Sue, and pack of blades. Stuff of legends...
Thanks again, James!!

I am glad you got everything and I am thrilled you are happy with the razor! That extra length coupled with the HD heft was a requirement when designing this razor.

I first received my men's soap company four pack. I've turned into kind of a soap whore lately and figured what the heck. I'd never heard of these guys before, but WOW. FANTASTIC lather. I'm using their Himalaya currently and it's really a great scent. Paired with Tiki aftershave is a good time!

If you haven't tried their soaps, they're worth checking out.

Then I recieved my (wife's) Pink Ivory and Purpleheart brush. I can't take photos right now as SHE is around. I am amazed by Steve's work as always. His skill is matched only by his generosity. Gotta go! She's reading over my shoulder!!!

 

[rockviper]

Some nice pick-ups there, @Tommy Tutone and @Avvatar

 

[rockviper]

A very welcome addition to my shave den came in this morning, courtesy of @Jake. It looks great! The case and instructions are just the bee's knees. Thank you, sir!
