That looks like a fantastic coating job with the razors! I am so glad I didn’t go on sabbatical :)

Same :)
Yet apparently restoration is an exemption.

Menth mate, menth :)
One is NRL team.
Other as the colour scheme looks great.

I was thinking football teams!

Come on @borked - what is behind the colour choices?

Partial credit.
You're right with one, the other is simply due to the two colours working so well in a masculine manner.

That is not a restoration, you are adding something that was not there previously.

It's fine. Firstly it's a service not purchase and you are making the razor functional again. Example of your point, you are saying if his DE was chromed it must be rechromed and not rose gold plated. Or you can't replace worn out wooden scales with plastic ones on a straight.

What will break a sabbatical will be the magical draw power of your epic APR soaps and splashes (y)

Absolute stupidity - why is it unethical to produce foie gras here? It is ok to stuff a gazillion chickens (or ducks for that matter) onto 1m2, but we have issues with a product that has been around for centuries...

It’s about animal welfare, as 99.99% of foie grass came from force feeding ducks that essentially induces sickness on them.

My personal opinion? You better don’t leave an unattended tin of foie grass next to me. Even if I am restrained, I could probably open it by just stating long enough to it ....

Sorry, but this is simply not true: the so called "force feeding" is actually rather gentle - the ducks come running to the feeder...

As I said: in Australia caging chickens and pig stalls are still legal, so banning foie grass because of animal welfare is just a joke

It’s just about who is kicking up a stink at the time, animal welfare isn’t actually the concern but rather appearing to be concerned about animal welfare is.
My wife and I stopped eating pork about 6 years ago as at the time there where no real free range pork options commonly available and most of our animal products now are from the farmers markets which now ofcause is maximum hipster, fortunately there are better options slowly trickling in to supermarkets
 
I really wonder about myself sometimes

Did I need this? NO.

Did I already have this? YES

Did I want this? I'm not sure, but...

Did I buy this? YES



I think I'm just a sucker for cases and paperwork ...

Ohhh, so you shave with these things do you?

I thought that they were just for looking at on the shelf and including in SOTD pics (whatever SOTD means).

So I shouldn't be using a 5 blade cart system or my electric razor then?

I own every design that I'm aware of, bar the adjustable.
You didn't use an upside down smiley to indicate sarcasm, so I've treated your comment as genuine :P
Perhaps a beard is more your look mate?
