[dexutter]

Almost broke out my 109 this morning, one of my all-time favorites!!

almost?

almost?

I'm trying to stay German for March so I used my Merkur Progress instead. I could have done the 109 with a German wilkinson blade....

I'm extremely happy with work that Razor Emporium did on this razor! The before pictures are disgusting and now the razor is perfect.

Question time again. Anyone know if I can determine date code on this without removing from the package? I'll explain why it's important in another thread later today. @achim or [MENTION=79408]nuclearblast[/MENTION] maybe know?

It's a super adjustable, plastic base with diamond knurling, which means it's 80 to 85, but I really want to know if it's an 81 before I open it.

In that case I think you'll have to open it.

I think you're in. Matter of fact, do you want to be the Chairman? I only have the trifecta with Fatboy, Slim and SA 109

No thanks, I'm just happy to be a member . As a matter of fact I'm going to give my duplicates to friends and family. Not the Fatboys or the NOS Slim, it goes with this.

I'm not very good describing smells but to me it's somewhere around Old Spice, Avon Spicy, and Stanley Chairman, or maybe Barbasol Brisk.
