As I live and breathe, if it ain't the "Viseguy"! Dear readers, Carl (aka "Viseguy") is a fellow FPAD (fountain pen) friend from years ago and a couple of FP boards. Because I stroked out some 4½ years ago and lost a lot of control of my right side, I put the fountain pens on the shelf and began looking for new worlds to conquer. Enter wet shaving interest, and lo and behold, up pops Carl with a wet shaving interest that goes back much farther than mine.
Enough of the 'H₂0 over the dam', Carl, I can imagine your interest in Stan's upcoming bronze toys. They're going to get more than a sideways glance from me too. Since we last talked, I'm jettisoning the first 3 modern razors I bought upon re-entering wet shaving, and am committing to vintage Gillette and modern high end Stainless Steel razors. This is what prompted me to ask the makers about their reasons for choosing the stainless types that they have.
Advice from me to the readers: Don't get on the wrong side of Carl, because anybody that takes a 3 piece and bins the base plate thus making a devette out of it is someone to keep as your friend. That's almost like putting a loaded .45 ACP to your throat to shave! Keep in touch, Carl I'm sure we'll have lots to share as time rolls on.
