A long handled Super Adjustable razor...

...But not just any Black Beauty- is this the last "Vintage" razor made by Gillette?!? [emoji6]

2nd Qtr 1988 (I2)

Anyone know of a younger Gillette razor from the "Vintage era"? I'm curious...

Nice ABC!
 
Not shave related but ...



It might keep me occupied for a while (and help me not misidentify eBay auctions!)
 
Some fantastic choices in there! Hello Alt Innsbruck!!!
 
I just set up my boss's Surface Pro 4 a couple weeks ago... not a bad bit of kit :)

Yeah, been playing today. I have the i7, 16Gb RAM, 512 storage. Fan is pretty noticeable and battery life - hmmm that could be problematic!

Boss wanted the biggest and the best and my suggestions that maybe an i5 might be a better balance ...

Oh well - first world problem!
 
Nice haul MrT
Where'd the fine come from? Tell us what you think
 
I bought it along with the soaps from knockout shave with that sale they had last week. Unfortunately the guy decided at the last minute that he didn't post aftershave to Australia, and so I had him forward to shipito, who ended up charging an arm and a leg for this lot since I didn't want to wait a month for super slow economy mail. Anyway, I got the goods at a decent price to begin with, so it probably evens out... but in the end I paid as much for shipping as I did for the goods :(

One of the soaps is for @borked, the other and the Fine is for me.

Yeah, it smells great. A very fresh barbershop scent (whatever that means), with a sweetness to it. I'm not sure why it's particularly "American", but there you go.
 
Just ordered from The Stray Whisker a Dr Jon's 'Classic Scent' soap and aftershave bundle. I gotta say it's really hard to try and save money while being on this forum haha:D:(
Beautiful soap and scent! You'll love it I'm sure. [emoji106]

I've also been eyeing the Dr Jon's. Would love your opinion on the Aftershave. Haven't seen much comment on them.
