You can have all of Pennsylvania east of Pittsburgh. Philly has cheesesteak sandwiches, so you'll want that city for sure. We just have to break it to @SteveChuckFrank our negotiations will make him a newly-minted Canadian. Hopefully, he's a big hockey fan, because I understand that's all that's on Canadian TV.

...but I like Pittsburgh... @SteveChuckFrank would have to change his name to "Jean-Luc Poutine" but them good eats. He'll be fine...
 
Happy March and the “one blade” challenge behind me. The General was great and though I didn’t post the last few shaves as to not bore the planet I did enjoy them. I logged 12 total and all were comfortable. Going to keep the Schick Proline in it but it won’t be my daily driver.

“New” razor, blade, cream and AS balm today. Like Christmas! The cream was good as was the balm. Perhaps a little drying but all and all, a good scent and performer. Razor is beautiful though I have of course used it before and the Gillette Nacet a perfect match to it.

Haven’t been representing Guerlain much lately!

But I guess with ADP up to bat, I can’t complain too much 😜😂
 
I love your Aristocrat Jr. Probably one of the better condition ones I have seen! Those things are great shavers too!

Sorry I missed your message Don! Yeah it is a cased beauty and it has the red retaining band in the case and II marked on the underside of the razor. It’s all brass so it’s a later period set. The thing is immaculate and one awesome shaver. I love Brit Gillette.

That is an excellent-looking razor. Never used a British model, though I like my American one very much. Unique combination of smoothness and closeness. Seems impossible one razor can give you both. Enjoy your shaves, Ed. :)
 
Just a nice and easy Friday shave. Enjoy your weekends!
