Holy Crap! Today was a great shave. I had found a grocery store downtown Erbil with some great products. Lots of Nivea, but Williams was there. I didn't see any Williams creams, but the Aqua Velva and Balm were there. I also found Arko Fresh AS/EdC, Old Spice Original EdT, and some other things for snacking on. Any way, I'll be posting a picture of these items when I get the chance. Happy shaves, everyone.

ATT Copper Windsor - first shave. As you know I'm a vintage guy and this is my first new razor. Exceeded my expectations for the wow factor, smoothness and lack of blade chatter. A very hefty and quiet razor that is in the same category (but a step above) of my NEW SC and Pre-war Tech - my two former best shavers. Very glad I was able find this gem before it joins the ranks of BBS-1 and those other stellar shavers of yesteryear.
