    There's a drive-in near where I live, and I think two others still in British Columbia. I have visited one in eastern Washington State as well, which managed to re-open after storm damage. The movie fare they program now is more family friendly, not like the 1970s when they'd do a four or five movie dusk-til-dawn mix of movies on holiday weekends.

    Ken we're about the same age. I think I'm 2 years older but the first drive in movies i saw were a double feature of Tora, Tora, Tora and the Godfather. My parents thought my twin brother and I would sleep through the second movie. The horses head in the bed really got me at age 7. Wasn't sleeping...

    Nice snag on the Aristocrat. Was talking to my Dad (87), he switched back to his old Gillette couple years ago, got tired of dropping $20 for a few blades. Recall using Grandads adjustable razor on fishing trips back in the 70s.
    So, yesterday, I found a like-new Fatboy w/ good case & am watching
    some shave videos and shopping for blades, soap/creme brushes &
    mugs.
    Those old Gillette Adjustables are so are so cool! & none of them
    were more than $15 - $20 bucks, usually $1.95.

    You have a unique style of lathering. I am working on the ability to make a thin lather that isn't bubbly and doesn't dissipate or get sticky before finishing the 1st pass. I would love to see you make a video solely describing and showing in detail your lathering technique!!!

    Very nice video. Today I got 2 of those Aristocrats delivered, one w a box like yours (blue blades) and one w no box (was 1/2 price and better condition). Just ordered Barbicide. I also got a 109 (BlackBeauty w gold head) was cheaper and the head in better condition..not the handle. Used it yesterday and did't realize i had it on 7... good shave. BTW there is Aqua Velva Ice Sport in the US; my small supermarket has it. Plastic bottle 3.5OZ. I actually liked it and went back and got 6 (not sure they make it any more).

    I just received one today. I bought it on eBay. It’s also a G3, it has the blue box of blades, the pamphlet, and even the little slip of tissue paper. It appears virgin. A little wear on the outside of the shipping sleeve, but that’s it. It’s going into the safe, never to be used. I have a slim adjustable being replated in rose gold by razor emporium, that may or may not be used as well. I might have to get a third.

    Sir, thanks for your video. This is Gillette Aristocrat ♥️ Long back i dreamed, getting any Gillette razor as wet shaving lover. After long searching i realized, not possible. E bay not shipping and Original packed (Razor Emporium, USA) Gillette razor's price too high. Some where I read Parker 87 R similar to Aristocrat. I get 87R and happy. Today i see original Aristocrat in your video and it is adjustable razor !!!!!!! Sir, thank you so much 🙏🌹

      I just received mine an hour ago and I'm very pleased. I knew it didn't come with the instructions and blades, but for $100 in mint condition in original box is not bad. When you find the original blades please give me a shout. I will let you know when I find them as well.
      Cheers!

    Ken just a side note. Disinfectants are not cleaners. They should be used after cleaning. Best practices would be to throughly clean then disinfect with barbicide. “Disinfecting is the killing of most microbial life that can lead to infection in humans-such as Influenza, Staphylococcus, HIV/AIDS, Herpes, Salmonella and Hepatitis. This step is done following cleaning and requires the use of a disinfectant such as Barbicide®, Barbicide® Plus or Barbicide® Wipes.”

    • @dgachisholm
      @dgachisholm 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought you said barbicide then clean. That could be interesting... Oh god oh god we are all going to die... I just don’t want you to get sick (or anyone) because of something so simple as not cleaning before disinfecting.
