Have at it man.... it's all yours. I'm going to go through the samples he gave me tonight, but initially I'm not a fan of that one. The pumpkin isn't the part I thought I was going to dislike..... it's the cocoa.

Just FYI, the clicky thing was like $1.95 free shipping off the bay. Cheap and handy for something at that price

I can check later if you need but if you do a search on the bay for manual counter I think they'll come up. Endless choices. I just picked cheap to see how it does.

Also, I always select cheapest with shipping as prices for the same item can be all over the map.
I did that, and got Hand Tally Counter. There it is.

I searched silicon sleeve for straight razors. Couldn’t find what I wanted and tried just silicon sleeve ... don’t do that.

There's only 1 more after what we consumed and she made her rounds of deliveries. I'll take care of it with some milk when I'm done typing my shave. You crack me up Dave.

Razor: Psycho Razor
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Brush: Stirling 24 mm Tuxedo
Soap: Strop Shoppe Black Tie
Aftershave 1: Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Badger Blend Blue Steel
All the talk of the Psycho razor had me itching to get mine out for spin. Nice mild shave that requires too much clean up which is why I don't use it often but it is really fun to have and use occasionally. Had one years ago I sold and got this a couple years ago hoping to never part with it but I'm fickle so you never know. I've always said there are 2 constants in my life. My relationship with my creator and my wife, everything else is negotiable as they're just things ?
Used the Black Tie Strop Shoppe soap today. Nice mild scent but couldn't tell you anything that stood out about it scent wise (Big surprise right for me, right?) It isn't an elite soap but was a nice easy lather to build. Produces nice cushion and protection. No residual slickness until you rinse and get some water on and then you have the slickness for touch ups. Glad I have the 2 tubs for nostalgia. Topped things of with the Humphreys and Blue Steel which after researching is a mix of Florida Water and Aqua Velva. Nice combo. Hope all the Cadre have a stellar day !! now where did that muffin go......................
There's a custom title in their somewhere.
You have one too!?!?! Gah!!!!

I started the Clubs and Brotherhood for Psycho razors in the other neighborhood. Biggest collection I've seen is bobbers from Louisiana. He makes and sells the keys on the bay.
Great shave today Dave! It's funny about Strop Shoppe and it not being elite and all. And you are right. But in 2014 before they closed up shop...if you would ask anyone...Strop Shoppe was the absolute best soap out there! Just funny how times have changed and how we have become spoiled!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Still glad to have some history and still a very good soap compared to some others.
Stunned.......I started the Clubs and Brotherhood for Psycho razors in the other neighborhood. Biggest collection I've seen is bobbers from Louisiana. He makes and sells the keys on the bay.
I've seen the keys for sale. There's a keyless razor up right now for around $100. Too much for me.
