I purchased a couple of SuperSpeeds for a friend.
So far I have him converted to using a shaving brush and soap, but he still shaves with a cartridge razor. Hopefully these two razors will complete his Conversion. I’ll just have to assemble a small selection of blades for him to try.

I started using DE razors 10 years ago. I've used two different Super Speeds (1948-1950 and 1965). I alternated when I changed blades. The 1965 S.S. was the one I preferred. It's still my favorite DE razor. I hope your friend will like them.
That should keep you going for a while.Yes sir, these just arrived.
Don’t tell me that La Toja has announced a reformulation as well….
I’ve had my eye on the Fitjar line. If only to have something to pair with my Swedish razors. I’d be interested to hear what is was about the performance that fell short of the mark for you.
Not that I know of.. but better safe than sorry!
@Tomo , I looked for my post just to make sure my recollection was right.
I didn’t find it slick enough. And didn’t get a good post shave. I’m not saying it was bad. It was more like “nothing”.
But the scent is impressively natural, real, matching the description (their descriptions are great, by the way). Although it didn’t “win me over” - for purely subjective reasons. I wanted to try Havn os Slateroy, but G&C had this on sale, so...
I’ve said this before, thou: I believe water plays a huge part in how a soap performes. So take my comments with a grain of salt.
Thanks. I appreciate your thoughts. Lack of post shave is a reoccurring theme with these soaps. A good balm can fix that but lack of slickness is a different story. Still tempted to give it a spin for some reason. A good nordic soap would go well with my Heljestrand razors.
You’re welcome!
You mean lack of post shave being a recurrent theme with Fitjar soaps?
I must say that the scent is really impressive, though. I’d be curious to smell Havn and Slateroy. If you’re buying it, I’d say go for either one of the 2. Unless you want the smell of chopped pine in early autumn morning (and I don’t say this in a bad way!)
Well I don't believe the case and banks go with the razor but my flat bottom tech from Argentina arrived a few minutes ago. I have never shaved with one of these. Looking forward to it.
A supply Bronze se & a Mongoose Alumgoose.

...but this one IS cracked.
My first Simpsons brush arrived this morning, a Trafalgar T3, looking forward to using it
My first and so far only Simpson brush is a Trafalgar series brush but in the T2 version. I really enjoy it. They’re a great entry level for Simpson
Good move on the lab equipment. I have a 12 hole wooden test tube holder I got around 7 or 8 years ago. They're affordable and look good and work great.

A dynamic defense against the prospect of a La Toja shortage.

Mail call from Italian Barber :
BBS AS plate for my BBS (standard) razor
Nacet x 100 blades - it was on sale
Cella - because it's Cella
Geo F Trumper Violets - an actual Wild Card; It'll either be a great hit or a long miss.
