Hello friends. I am active on other forums and recognize many of you. I am here due to the closing of The Shave Den. My entry into traditional shaving began when one of my sons, heading off to college, expressed interest in traditional shaving...

Lovely collection of AC razors mate, I’ve got the AD La Faulx ++ in S/S arriving Jan 22nd for my birthday 🤞 it’ll be my No 1 AC razor 🤔

British New RFB A nickname coined by collectors that describes the reinforced base plate. This was to accomodate a permanently fixed handle tube like a Single Ring Old Type razor. They also came in three piece like the one below it.

Gillette Fatboy / Gillette Stainless

Vintage Old Spice followed by Yardley Green label Modern in no particular order; Haslinger Schafmilch MDC SV

I’ve got a La Faulx ++ in S/S coming for my 70th this month, but the Horizon man she looks a beauty and no guessing “required” plate.

Atelier Durdan Horizon with Kai Protouch MG - amazing razor!

The injector blade is “B”, i. e., Schick B-20. The “P” is for AC blades and the number is the amount of blades, you’ll have P-20 and P-30, 20 and 30 blades respectively.

This is great information and I never thought of it this way. AC blades give very close shaves as do Weck razors with their own blades. I am a big fan of AC blades.

FWIW, the Kai Titan mild PINK is also the same depth (8.2mm) as the Feather PRO Super, thus being the only 2 at this depth. All are 50mm long with varying “thickness” between them. Schick P30 is an AC blade, I believe the P20 is Injector size...

Thanks to all of you guys and gals and wishing you and your families a New Year filled with Happiness, Health and Prosperity !!!!

Dear Wet Shavers, I took a huge risk on a Christmas gift for my wife this year. I bought her a mint Lady Gillette pink razor on eBay. Then I worked with Zach at Norton Custom designs on Etsy for a case for the razor. When she opened it up...
