Enjoyed the shave Dave! Interesting razor for sure!

Morning Dave, nice looking shave! That fresh sharpened pencil scent would remind me of all the paddlings I received as a kid. Well deserved and quite a few. Thanks for sharing pard!

Nice shave Dave That razor could scare the hell out of a robber :D. I recently received a Maggards sample of the pencil pushers from a friend. I cannot wait to try it now. In my city, the temperature generally tends to be tropical & hybrid. But every year, around this time and maybe till mid Jan, the temperature becomes an extremely pleasant 18-20 Centigrade. I prefer (early) morning shaves as well (not 4 but around 6-6.30ish) and it is fun to shave with just a hint of morning "chill". Makes me want to add more menthol to daily shaves, hehe.

Nice one Dave! B&M does some interesting scents and this base looks like it's even better than the omnibus base. Amazing lather start to finish! That razor does kind of remind me of the Schick repeater. It is one of those razors that it makes you wonder how they can make and sell it so cheap. And every shave I've seen with it has been a really good one. Crazy! Merry Christmas!

Nice one Dave. This popped up today. That razor seems well crafted. I have used the eboracum by signature soap. It is excellent if you liked peppermint

Good description on tht soap Bluegrass. Those wooden pencils have been a part of my whole life. I made maps as a geologist for 30 years before computers took over. Used color wooden pencils every day. That smell is burned in my obdulla oblongata. 😂. Backup worthy from you is quite the endorsement! Like you Omnibus is my #1 base. Scares me when the artisans get fidgety with their recipes. Thanks for the review.

Hey Dave! I ordered what I thought was that razor, and all I received was the 30 pack of half blades. I was disappointed, but I still may purchase the razor anyway. Thanks so much for the review! JimG

Very nice Shave

Great review Dave, and ditto on the Ghost Town Barber splash. Thanks very much.

Hi Dave. This is one of the best scents in wet shaving in my opinion. Haven't heard of this razor. Have a good one

Nice shave Dave Does the razor look like the Yaqi ghost of maybe gamechanger? I remember keeping 60 plus razors till a year or two ago which I brought down to 3. I am back to a comfortable 19-20 now.

Happy Shaves Dave love you Channel.👍

You’re the man Dave💪🏼. Appreciate your reviews🙏 I have the Colorlamb “knifezor”😂 I really like it and so inexpensive. Shaved fantastic for what it is and really glad to have it. Enjoy

Had not heard of that razor, thanks Dave.

Downsize to 10 to 20 razors you say?? The word Incredulous springs to mind!! Lol😂 Great looking shave Dave and thanks for sharing!!

Wait... you're shaving pre-coffee? Isn't that dangerous? 😆

Enjoyed the shave Dave. I’m like you, at this point I’m looking to downsize not add more, although at times it’s tempting.

Guess I'll pass.. a good razor is a good value as well 💸

It reminds me of that flathead razor which I've heard is pretty efficient. It does look like a nice one, probably a little out of my reach. Hahaha! They have kind of put themselves in that tight high end market with some very stiff competition. I do think I came up with a good design for your scoop and as soon as I get some free time, I'll start working it up. I'll probably work up a sketch first and run it by you, to see what you think. Have a great weekend Dave!

Enders + an adaptor + an injector blade = a dream coming true 😂

I am thinking about getting the wr1 .54 or a .61 Wolfman. I currently have on loan a .58 Lupa from a friend on badger and blade which is supposed to be a dupe of the wr1 Wolfman. I don't know which one(wr1) the Lupa.58 duplicates the .54 or the .61

How do you like the shield ac vs the Vector have a shield and have been debating a vector.

Great shave Dave - I’m going to get my ShakeSharp out this weekend after seeing it!

You don't really showing clearly. But it's fine. Thank you anyway 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have also a 7oclock razor. I'm trying to lock my gem blade & I can't. Can you tell me how you do it? Have you modified the gem blade?

Good to see. I pretty much abandoned collecting and using DEs other than my Shakes. Nothing else checks as many boxes.

Interesting shave & razor.. I'm a big fan of tweaks.. the long awaited 3 piece adjustable.. sad news is price does not live up to the innovation.. Btw get well soon 🙏

Favorite modern is Rockwell 6S, and favorite vintage is a Schick Type E.

Great shave Dave! I, too have a Shake Sharp stashed away I’ve never used. I have several that way unfortunately. Have a great day!

Good morning Dave, again a razor I ve never seen before. Very interesting. Have a great Sunday and stay safe 😎🪒

Always enjoy your U-Tubes, great Razor history lesson. Love learning something new.👍.

I own a Shake Sharp razor, and am a bit ashamed to admit that I have not yet used it! The two vintage razors that have become my preferred goto's were both made by Gillette. They are the Aristocrat Jr. which was made in England and sold in Canada as a "Rocket", and The New short comb open comb razor head on a 1950's ball end Tech handle, which is technically a frankenrazor. I have yet to purchase any modern DE razors. I may purchase the Heritage Gibbs Replica razor if funds and availability coincide...

Fun learning about the Shake Sharp (again!). And fun to see The Compendium again. I've a suspicion that I could lose hours reading its pages and more hours scouring the internet for the razors! So glad you did if for us/me!! Karve Overlander stainless steel is my top modern. For vintage, as much as I am attached to my '64 Slim, I'd say it is an injector, the Schick Hydro-magic Type I. The Type G is a close second. Or is it the adjustable Type M? Can I pick all three?! I'll have to come back and see what other say.

Well those are some hard questions! Probably that Schaeffer I just got and then probably the Thorn for a modern razor, which is kind of an ugly duckling.The difficulty picking top razors is blades, SE & DE, OC, Slant, Shavette, etc. PAA makes it difficult too, with their reproductions of old razors like the Monster Slant and the Meta 4, because both of those could have been the top modern razor. If I can come up with a safety razor that uses the Kismet hair shaper blade that would be number one-hahaha! That's my number one blade, super sharp & super smooth. I have my doubts that I'll run into another New Weck and if I had known, I would have picked it up. Just another problem for me to come up with a solution for-lol! Take care Dave!

Nice shave Dave! That is a interesting razor.

Nice one Dave! As for my favorite vintage razor my Gillette Goodwill and favorite modern is my Razorock Gamechanger. Subject ro change at any time of course! Thanks for sharing buddy!!

Nice shave Dave. I recently received a Maggards sample of after the rain by declaration grooming. It smells great, have you tried it ? I do not have much experience with vintage razors, except an old Gillette tech head. It was a tad mild and yet bitey for me. I went on a spree to hunt down every cheap tech inspired by the original one (rimei and likes). My favourite modern razor is Shivira by a company in India - Romer 7. Romer 7 is a large OEM which makes a number of razors rebranded and sold in the EU and NA.

Nice shave Bluegrass. Glad to see your razor knowledge on display. I like you may have waited to long to try DGs MOI soap. If you really like it, gotta try.

Hi Dave. Interesting razor. Efficient and confortable. Sounds good to me. Have a good one

Hey Dave! I recently purchased the MK II off ebay. It is in immaculate condition! It came with the case which is near perfect too! I only paid $44 + shipping. I never gave it a thought to use two blades. I'll give it a try. Thanks for reviewing yours! JimG

Very impressed. I am mentioninning you often on my channel, Scott at brownbag gentleman.

Nice one Dave! Just back to work after testing positive for covid over Thanksgiving. Who'd a thunk it?? Each time you use Nordost makes me want to give it a whirl, but I have plenty, I have plenty, I have...lol! Thanks for sharing bud!

Nice shave Dave I recently picked reserve spice by barrister from a friend. Clubbed with the easily available old spice after shave (manufactured here), it offers such an old school note. Have you tried it? Despite everything, that is some serious commitment to shaving daily. Hands down! I have been shaving almost daily for over 24 years now but used to take off over weekends. Just would not commit to daily shaving with a cartridge. But have tried to get back to disciplined daily shaves for the past few years after re- entering the world of de.

Nice shave Dave! I was always curious about that razor but was never tempted enough to buy one.

Good colour shirt for that soap! I'm in Canada, a couple hours drive north of Toronto, in the woods. We had a yard and a half of snow here over the last weekend. Still digging out. But good news! We get another foot today! 🤣 A good shower and shave is an excellent morale booster as we survive nature trying to kill us. 😄. And a good video too. Thanks Dave.

Nice shave! Great soap and splash, I do like their base a lot. I think the head design is good and perhaps they should have echoed the design of the handle with the Blackbird. There's a simplicity and elegance to the Blackbird handle that should be carried throughout their line. I did pick up an interesting vintage razor that was made by Scheafer. A two piece, with a bakelite handle and a head very close to a Barbasol. A smooth and efficient shaver and another reminder that I need to pick up the Compendium. It almost makes me wonder if Scheafer manufactured the Barbasol razor. It's a keeper for sure! Have a great week Dave!

Great shave Dave! I look forward to seeing the folding razor in action.

Hi Dave. I agree. Used proraso green this morning. I also use whatI feel like using. Have a good one

Stirling is great, and has been for a long time. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Great shave Dave!

Nice one Dave! I don't have a 1305 but have looked at them enough that I should have just bought one. The Enders is one of the most intuitive razors I've owned. Thanks for sharing bud and havea good weekend!!
