I'll never forget one time finding an uncased Executive in the wild on one of those spinning carrousel cases as I was walking out of an antique shop. I had just bought two inexpensive straights and he had it listed for a couple bucks. He just let me have it for free! It was NOS shape with no case... I wish I hadn't sold it..
CONGRATS!, I love the case! Wonderful addition to the den!
Marlboro Woman's purse. Got it.
I want to see side-by-side scent descriptions written by you two. I think it would be more informative than what the sellers write.Think a light, woody aromatic with masculine floral notes and the richest, creamiest lather - it’s like @NurseDave prefers to shave with Dial bar soap

this came in the mail last night, i must say it smells much better than b&m's reserve spice. they also sent me a sample that smells pretty damn good!
The alternative is just to say perhaps Nurse Dave is out of his gourd and Tabac Rocks!

I submit to the Jury:
#1 it makes one ponder, why @NurseDave is sniffing inside an old lady purse
#2 why is he watching said old lady spray something into the purse he is sniffing
#3 The Tenure in which Dave has been watching the Old lady smoke, while watching old lady, while sniffing her purse, while watching her purse, would assume he has been doing that since he was about 2-yrs old, across mutliple states, all without parental supervision or knowledge which now extends into adulthood without the ongoing knowledge of his spouse or children makes the prosecution ask for the maximum sentence of 3 yrs of 3017'ing the same TABAC he compares, restitution to all OLD Ladies whom smoke, and 6-months in a hermetically sealed room with @Majorrich while pulling the said Major's Finger

Yep. I wondered what you would think. My kilo of P.160 was way smaller than I expected.

It is now packed into tubs and ready to go. I think I am going to have a few Cella shaves after I finish my Williams puck.

Do these use proprietary blades?

Nope!
I keep thinking if I want to try out a soap like Cella again... 8 years or so ago, I tried Cella a couple of times and every time I had tingly, hot and red cheeks for hours after my shave. I'm not certain if it was just a bad shave on my part or if it was the soap. I aired on the side of caution and Pifed it and my P.160 off.

Super cool guys, let us know how you like them. I've always wanted to try one because I love my Schick injectors, but I've just never taken the leap due to being neck deep in my straight razors. That black one looks sharp!

If you want to try it again PM me your mailing address (I don't think that I have it yet). I will send you a small sample.

No, it doesn't although they do have their own blades that come in a plastic dispenser rather than a metal one. It doesn't work well with vintage razors that were expected to be used with a stiffer metal key. I assume the plastic key adds a measure of protection to the finished surface of their razors. I'm not sure I'd want to use a metal injector but I doubt it would do any real damage. I really can't say for sure. I'll probably save one of the plastic ones that I can use to load different blades if I wanted to try something different.

Thanks! I don't normally go for black razors but there was just something about the look of this one in black that I couldn't pass up. It looks amazing in the shiny finish as well though so I don't think there's a bad choice.
I will definitely report back on my shaving experience. I just started making shave videos so I'll be making an unboxing and shave video on this as well.
