Dang i didnt know they went out of business, that sucks. They had some really cool color schemes and looks like they do a great job.

Yep, no explanation. Website gone. Hope Jay is okay....................Hey, there's a thought. Maybe Chris, Dave and Chad are upgrading his website

Rapira blades can be hit or miss, i think their Quality Control may be to blame. one blade from the same tuck lasted me over 10 shaves while others barely lasted 3.


That Bananna Nut Bread looks delicious!

2019 Shave # 82 ( 137 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 2 SB
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Brush: Sorrentino Orange Crush w/Synthetic
Soap: Strop Shoppe Russian Tea
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Florida Water

Well I was sorry I pre-selected this for the shave today after viewing @HandleBarberDave video with the SV 70th. He had me craving it so I will get me some tomorrow. After opening the tub of Strop Shoppe Russian Tea I was happy with my choice though. Got a great lather going with @Smattayu made Sorrentino Orange Crush and Cashmere Knot. The Charcoal Goods is really a good replacement for the Timeless that I am selling. Just as efficient and smooth like butter as well as pleasing to the eye. Glad I got it to try and compare. Topped off with the Florida Water which pairs well with the Russian Tea and is very long lasting scentwise for me. I won't harass you with pics of the melted butter on the banana nut bread and coffee I'm enjoying while reading the forum. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Excellent shave this morning Dave! Though I might not have been as bold with you with the Florida Water on top of the Russian Tea...but hey...can't argue with results!

 

[Dave in KY]

Thanks Don, the spice of the Russian Tea and the Florida Waters spice are perfect together

2019 Shave # 83 ( 138 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Gillette Psycho Razor
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: CRSW Glide Fragile Confusion
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Captains Choice Venture

Well I decided to get the Psycho Razor out for another spin and so my soap selection seemed to lean towards Fragile Confusion from CRSW Glide formula. The name seemed a fit for the Psycho razor. Was going to use my SV 70th but I'm waiting on a razor that is delayed I wanted to use with it. I drone on about it in my video that's uploading along with other non important things. If I were you, I wouldn't watch it...........Got a nice smooth DFS shave which is par for the course when I use a tech. Topped with the CC Venture sample I have as I have heard the clamoring of North being discontinued and I figured.....why not ! Nice aftershave although heavy on the alcohol and light on the scent at least to me. I do want it noted that I could have had Cherry Cheesecake for breakfast but went with he healthier choice of the Banana Nut Bread. Have great day Cadre !!!

 

[Cvargo]

I have always like the look of those Psycho razors. Good stuff today. Enjoy your weekend.
