Have to say, I've tried lots of shaving soaps, but this one is at the top of the rating curve! Slick, cushiony, easy lather; a little goes a long way. The Desert Vetiver scent is top notch too.[emoji106][emoji1635]

This "gem" (pun intended) is taken directly from the 1947 World Series Official program. Maybe the first Flying Wing advertisement ever: Another 1947 funny ad: Earliest I find is March 1947. The big rollout is beginning of April (start of baseball season :-) )

A very pleasant Shave this morning prior to braving the uncertain weather whilst officiating today. Have heard that changes
previously forecast for this Razor have been aborted, and they are retaining the half thread fixing.So far had no problems using non stock handle when changing blades. Probably will not go for the new version, as The Raster V2 is a really excellent Razor.
