Quite a dramatic close-in shot. The #66 is a beauty!

Thank you, the truth is this Aristocrat is a luxury.

Radian and quite impressive array, Dave. How did you like the new Proraso? I gather the dispenser comes separately.

Thanks Ron, the new Proraso is fantastic, and yest the dispenser was an impulse buy, LOL

Route 66 Sweeney Todd today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11 brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Barbershop w/Menthol aftershave.

Nicely composed vertical shot, Aaron. Pinaud is a good shave.

Thanks Ron! It certainly is. It's not a total steal in price per ounce, but it's still very affordable and a great rotation soap. Super creamy lather!

Two totally different feels here, Erich. One a laid-back image with the chummy Proraso and Maca Root and the other a marked defiance as Sir Irisch Moos faces off with the Dubl Duck.

[ronweston]

love it , the trifecta... so how are the racers? I also bought the 100 pack on ebay for less tha 10 bucks, based on the epic XXLPACK review... I keep forgetting to use one, Lord are my favorite mild blades and i am sure these are great

I am finding the Racer to be a really good blade, sharp and smooth. I used one for the fourth time today and think I'll take it to its limit. I expect at least several more shaves out of it. So far I'm quite happy I made the purchase.

 

[ronweston]

Thanks! Douglas has such fun labels! he was looking for the creature double feature theme, in Massachusetts growing up UHF Channel 56 delivered the monster goods , followed by kung fu movies.. I lived for those movies as a young boy, with my hand me down black and white tv in the garage.... we did not need netflix or the internet.. we had UHF! !!

Yeah, I can relate to that. Monster flicks on Friday and Saturday night TV! Actually most of my kung fu viewing was done a little later at an artsy theater in DC.
