If it’s more than three days out he’ll find something between now and then.

I’m really looking forward to your review on the Stirling razors.

Wish you stayed in the pass

I really had to weigh that one, before I made that decision. But I’m leaning more towards straights with DEs for a backup or a quick shave. Plus that frees up funds for other purchases.

If I wanted one, I'm guessing it would be the ST and down the road but it's a chance to at least try it and KNOW down the road if I'l want it.

Got the Spiral Curve Krect Slant out for a spin today with the SV Opuntia Set. Nice luxury shave today for the start of summer. Video uploading in a single shot (unbelievable, I know) It felt a little rougher today but the blade may have been compromised. Has me slightly tender feeling but smooooth. I'll need to switch the blade out. Have a Stellar Day Cadre !!!

Thanks, I'll try to keep your shaved ice from melting this time when I bring it to the island tomorrow

The more I enjoy my iKon slant, the more I want to venture into slants. Have a good one, Dave!

There are a few on the bay right now, including some high dollar vintage slants. Yikes. I'll have to wait until the group buy brush and Paladin are paid off before I can dive head first into that rabbit hole.

Yeah, I'm watching the Mulcato but probably let it go since getting the Wunderbar. The Yaqi Double OC Slant head for $20 looks interesting too.

Has Etsy given you any success with slants? I've gotten a couple of steals on straights there.

Always forget to look there..........

 

[GearNoir]

Usually Etsy is a bit overpriced I feel, but at least there isn’t any competition if you do find something I guess.

Last week was a crazy busy one and I'm dragging this morning. Finally got my desert island shave in with Sam. Nice shave actually and LOVING the Whipped Dog Silvertip that hasn't shed a single hair from the get go. Very happy with it and the ferrule that @Clouds gifted me. Thanks aren't enough for the selection I now have with my 400 that I always envisioned having one day, Claudio, you ROCK !!

Have a great day Cadre !!!

Brush does look great! Good to hear it’s performing too!

Nice posts and videos lately Dave! I really like the two tones of your 6S. I have been thinking of doing something like that to my Fatboy.
