That is one of the samples I am curious to try.

If it's gone when it gets to you, let me know

Anytime Dave. I could send one or two of mine out to you to see if you like my edges.
Like one on the 20k Gokumyo and one with an Arkie edge.

 

[MilkCrate]

That is a cool razor.

 

[Maryland998]

Thanks @MilkCrate
Got it from a guy in Poland
They pop up every now and then on the bay.

I'm sure your edges are fine...............better than the none ability I have for sure. We'll see down the road, Thanks

 

[Maryland998]

Hope all of your days have been going well.
Mine is good so far. Then again it’s only 1300. Lots of crap can happen in 11 hours.

Ok Cadre here’s the choice you have to help me make.
Should I use a pretty, fancy, shiny, minty razor?
Or one of my plain, utilitarian, homely last call and last girl left in the bar razor?

My office.

That is a manly truck, sir!

On the first poll I vote "nay". And I'd go with an old, time-tested razor. YMMV.

 

[MilkCrate]

Shiny

 

[The Monkey]

Oh shinnnnnyy!

 

[Maryland998]

@Graybeard57 Thanks. I named it "Daddy's Girl" Sorry but looks like you are the only vote for plain jane.
@The Monkey @MilkCrate @Dave in KY Shiny wins. Something about shiny purrrty things that gets monkeys excited. Don't know what Tim and Dave's motivation is.
Pics to follow.

I’m curious what minty is....

 

[Maryland998]

Well Cadre brethren. Since my last post around 1300.
Seeing how it’s Monday. I had steeled myself for possible annoyance.
Even a quick trip to my local supermarket did not result in any real issues.
The trip was so “Mein Liebling Frau” had all the ingredients to make meatloaf.
Which was damn tasty.
My shave tonight again was with the help of a few only 4 Cadre members. Helping me decide which razor to use.
On a positive note. I can tell you all with 100% confidence that the Russians or the Ukrainians did not interfere in the results.
Did my usual 2 pass shave with a soap sample pass around. DiPaulo Argumes.
The razor was a little “tuggy”. So I will rub it a bit on a rock to remedy it's mediocrity.
Soap review will be in the pass around thread.


Tonight’s elected shiny object.

Ice hardened Good looking razor

 

[Maryland998]

Filarmonica also had Their Sub Cero.
Other makers used cryogenic treatment as well but their names are escaping me right now.
I have a couple target rifle barrels that have been “cryogenically treated”
It does work from my experience.

Still trying to figure out which razor has a minty flavor

 

[Maryland998]

Usually green scales are a good indicator of the presence of mint flavor.

Tonight’s shave was a bit of a Groundhog Day.
Touched up the Fisher razor on my Translucent Arkie. So wanted to check out
how that turned out. But any of you that know me. Already know how it did.
Awesome!
And wanted to do a back to back on the DiPaulo Argume soap.
I promise tomorrow nights set up to be new and improved.
Watched the State of the Union speech.
Lots of good stuff.
Hope all of you guys had a good day.
See you tomorrow.
Fluffy

I love the enthusiasm, Phil! I hope tomorrow isn't Groundhog Day again.
