I forgot to mention that but the Bakelite slant has more auditory feedback than any other razor I’ve used. It always worked well for me, I just miss the extra weight any time use a Bakelite Razor.

Yes...definitely VERY loud.
I'm planning on trying it another time...like I said it wasn't as smooth as my 37 but the result was great. And I love me some Bakelite
Wow - box has really blossomed .......
I might have to sign up again.
Real glad my Razorine found a home where it will be loved.

Used the Maggard's set today.
LOVE the handle.
Open Comb, V2: I liked it. Nothing noticeable to write about good or bad...just a good decent DE head
Closed Combs, V3 and V3a: I think these might have been the worst experience I've had with any razor so far since I started DE shaving in Feb. Rough, the V3 was not very efficient, left irritation, and the V3a, while more comfortable over all than the V3 gave me a nasty nick because of the crazy gap
A bummer too because I REALLY like the handle

Used the Ever Ready 1914 (Little Lather Catcher) on one side and the GEM G Bar on the other today.
The Ever Ready was the first SE I've ever used that I can't say I really liked. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. A little tougher than most SE I've used and my wife felt my cheeks after and said it wasn't as smooth as the G Bar side either.
I really enjoyed the G Bar. I like SE and GEMs in general. I had heard it was mild, which it is but it still gave a nice smooth shave. I wouldn't out it above my MMOC but it's not too far behind either.

Sad to hear the V3a bit you. I liked it so much I almost didn’t put it in the box. But who says you can’t keep the handle if you like it?
I am very excited for my turn. I am really looking forward to trying some razors.
I'm considering it... Especially since there's another Razorock handle in the without a head
I'm planning to put an extra item or two in with you in mind
Ok. Cant wait.
I was thinking I could add a straight razor so anyone can try a straight if they want and a travel strop. I do have an extra straight and strop. Would that be something you guys would be interrested in?
Yes, please! I'll have to go through my den and see what I have to contribute. I know I have some software I can throw in for all to try. Thanks again all!
Ok. I will get those ready so when I have the box I can add one.
I do know this is a safety razor box but I have seen threads some people have never tried straights and been curious. This would be a way they can try a straight without having to spend money. I will include a straight that is already honed and a eel leather and cotton travel strop I got from naked armor when I first started wet shaving. This strop is perfect for the box as it's small thin and very flexible. It will not crack being rolled up tightly. This way the box can still be kept the same size. Its not top quality but it does work well.

I have a straight and a travel strop ready to be added into the box. Is this a box that keeps recirculating? I was thinking the straight and strop can be kept in the box so anyone who is curious to try a straight can do so without having to buy everything to try it.
I passed on the v3a when I had the box... later bought a v3a head it is now on of my favorites! It is easily misunderstood, and needs to be handled with respect and took multiple tries for me to find its value. You have to load blade carefully to make sure it is even, a bit off and it’s very unruly. I found it not to be as aggressive as it’s reputation. I started with a low angle not quite riding the cap, then increase the angle for known trouble spots...and have got the closest and most comfortable DE shaves ever
How's it going with this.
Haven't heard anything bout this in a while. Curious to reviews on razors.
Was wondering this myself. Haven't heard any updates/reviews in some time.
Same here. I miss the updates and chatter.
Any update on this. Seems to have just died. Is it still going.

@MyOldKentuckyHome -- would you please confirm whether you've been able to send the box along?
Your last post indicated just what you planned to include.
@spolct -- do you have any info for us, please, since you were next on the list?
