Still very intrigued by these.

Santa did not bring me one of these last year so I'm hoping he will this year. But I see they are sold out everywhere so perhaps not.

Nice to see everyone's time pieces. I love to see a good reliable and attractive time piece. I have a 1959 Omega Seamaster Calendar that I've worn since I was eighteen. I send it to Omega in Switzerland when it needs a cleaning and overhauling. It's currently there now, last time was twenty years ag...

Great report, Gary. Glad to hear this is still a good one. Been having a few shaves with this as well and really enjoying them.

Chris

Looks good, Gary. Hope you enjoy. Apparently it's undergone a repacking. It never used to list the ingredients on the container. And from online pictures at Plisson it looks like they've branded as their own now. Let us know how this new cake performs. The ingredients look the same as they've been f...

Plus one on this, Joris is a wonderful soap! I may even put this on deck for tomorrow's shave.

Chris

Wow this stuff used to be everywhere for cheap. I didn't realize it became scarce.

Good luck, I hope you find some!

Chris

+1 on this, I've done it too and it works wonderfully.

Chris

I remember these being offered. Great blade and good memories.

Chris

I will say this - since I am primarily a soap user the biggest change I see in the feel of my brush bristles is when I do an occasional cream shave. The brush is noticeably softer the next shave from having used a cream to make my lather the day before.

Chris

The closest I come to this is when I make my lather. I fill my lather cup with the hottest water my tap can provide and swish the brush in it. I use that to make lather. Lately I've been doing this first before washing my face. This is so the lather is ready to apply right when I'm done rinsing my f...

Thanks for the update. I was thinking that might be what you would find. The blade resembles the 7/8's TI's of that era. Didn't you have one of those too? I had one and it shaved just like the others. I sold it off as well as I rarely used it. I have honed many a carbon song TI for others but never ...

Holy Mackeral, that's pretty shocking. I can't believe someone would behave in such a way over someone else's opinion on honing.

Chris

Dr. Moss, I never did acquire one. Time wasn't right when they were offered. I remember though that sometime after was when Ray at CS started offering the Wolf and Ram line and I was able to get two of those. I eventually sold them off so I just have my Eagles. I have even sold the majority of those...

Welcome back to the land of the TI razors. May your stay be pleasant!

Chris

Getting back in the saddle!

Chris

Welcome back, Dave. I had a similar experience myself. I also picked up a tube at the local Wegman's just to give it a try. I found the performance the same as you. Brushing didn't really benefit the lather but it had nice slickness. The scent, unfortunately, is not my cup of tea but I think most pe...

Dr.Moss, good to hear you are on the mend. Here's to continued and speedy recuperation.

Great to hear you're on the mend!

Excellent news, so happy for you!

Many happy shaves!
