    Favourite but now a “show pony” my Gillette Aristocrat Gen 1 replated in Rhodium, she’s a beauty, though for a vintage shave my 2 piece (Set 88) or ABC razor just edge it out for smoothness and closeness of shave!! YMMV.

    Mmh, I used 2 hands for my 10-12 month attempt at SR’s but when I went to a “genuine” Kamisori I used my dominant R hand to complete the shave, there were some “bloody” good nicks initially 😂😂

    Yardley bastard :cautious: I'm leaning towards Woolly Wash Soapery (Australian made) from etsy.com Night at the Pub Shear (unscented) this soap is almost 100% perfect, just like Mitchell's Wool Fat ;)🥃

    Currently awaiting a La Faulx S/S machine finish with the ++ plate for my 70th next month. I’m finding the AC RAD is very addictive and “believe” I may end up using one 🤔 exclusively 😂, but with RAD who knows, as I’m led to believe there’s no cure?

    Yes, an x pipe smoker, still have my Falcon in the study and “miss” the smell of my Borkum Riff tobacco. I stopped smoking on my 40th and have 3-4 Cuban cigars a year as a “special” treat 👍

    I don't even smoke but I love how they look - and the prices of some of them make our shaving hobby seem like a cheap pass time... LOOK AT THIS!!! I also love the smell of pipe tobacco
