P.S. Bring back natural sugar and ditch the high fructose corn syrup Amen! I don't drink too much soda, but recently have been enjoying Pepi's Throwback products (mainly Doctor Pepper and Mountain Dew). Also, due to the heavy Latin population in my town, Mexican coke is usually readily available.

Tim,

I'm very interested to see how this turns out.

The Emillion handle is my absolute favorite however, I really don't like the density and I'm also enjoying my boar brushes very much.

I've been using my 1305 off an on for a couple weeks now along with a new Omega boar. I gotta say, I've become a huge fan of boar brushes. On my face, they honestly feel similar to Rooney's finest grade badger, well not exactly but, similar. Also, being a SBAD addict, it's going to be a lot cheaper ...

Well put Gordon.

To be honest I found the faux horn handle to be off-putting. I probably would have been more prone to buying one had it been in the typical faux ivory handles that ever other Simpsons I've owned has.

For Sale- 6/8 Dubl Duck Satinedge Roundpoint

Gents, Up for sale is a lovely Dubl Duck Satinedge. It is 6/8 with a round point. It is in nearly mint condition with a 1 small spot on the tip and some faint black marks along the spine on the backside. I'm pretty sure that these would polish out. The scales are in spectacular condition with no war...

WTB- Kent BK4

Well, the day has come. After all of Gordon's ramblings about how great this brush is, I figure I better give it a try to...you know...clear my conscience.

PM me if you have one available.

Have fun Gary. I've restored a few blades, and it's a time consuming, yet very rewarding process. For me though, I tend to leave a bit of the razor's "age" show through, and don't get too carried away with a mirror polish, but that's probably because I'm lazy :P I had my first shave with a...
