Good grief! Is it time for this question again? So soon? God!, my father was right about the years flying by when you get older...sigh. Shaving related stuff? Well, I've got a list of it taped to the frig. for the use of my thoughtful ( sic ) wife and sons on our trip to NJ/NYC. But, one item? That mint Gillette Rocket HD razor that I have on loan from Richard!

SMF III and a Progress with the mod from this thread.

Wait. That's two. Do I really have to choose just one?

That's a really simple question. The SMF III, no, wait, a Shavemac, no, a WS Sticky, umm, no, a Feather AC, wait... a Toggle, or maybe a Slant, or a nice 195.

Maybe it's not such a simple question after all.

Richard, Yesss...yesss....maybe so....sigh. Turns out that it's the model I've been searching for; shaves like a classic SS, or better still, like the '58 TV model, but with a heavier, beefier handle. And, yours is so..a...'minty' besides. Really is a damn nice, for real, to use everyday, sort of razor.

What I want for Christmas is for people to stop selling their companies to vicious mean-spirited narrow-gutted soulless "branding" artistes who reformulate, repackage and desecrate excellent stuff so that it no longer works, so that the new owners can temporaily cut costs, boost profits, pump-and-dump their shares and buy new! enhanced! breasts! for their ghastly but put-upon wives. That's what *I* want.

Oh, and LVMH to go bankrupt, and the EU health and safety lunatics to go just that tiny bit madder so that they have to be banged up in padded cells for the rest of their 'life'.

Otherwise it's goodwill to all men, as usual. Except for the bastards who represent everything I dislike about the stuff I hate.

I want some Musgo Real A/S. But I can't justify purchasing it since I have 6 other aftershaves. ;)
Rob, purchasing the Musgo Real would then give you 7 in total, 1 for each day of the week. And it is relatively inexpensive, effective and fabulous smelling.
Best,

Regrettably, the latter group is now nearly larger than the former.

I would be willing to wager that since the time that DrP developed his first SBAD, Holland has never had a recession.
Am i right, Peter? :wink:
