The renovated bathroom is coming back together, same old tiles and medicine cabinet with a new vanity and lick of paint. I don't feel so embarrassed taking photos in the bathroom now :)
This weeks change over Squadron - out with Red Lead (such a delightful scent) and in with Coronet Fougere

Always a pleasure to see that razor being put to use.
130+ years old, and still working as it's maker intended.
He (Fr. Wellmann) will be long turned to dust...but his creation still lives.
Thanks @Holiday

Oh, I dunno. You obviously haven't had an issue with the Proline not fitting the Vector properly. That would be a real bummer. I can't believe how long it took me to decide which was better with the Vector: Proline or PINK? Now, the PINK just rates as an OK but otherwise meh blade for me.

I've got all the single-edge blades in my den.

Feather Artist Club Professional & Pro Super.
Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink :vomit: )
Schick Proline P-20 & P-30, both are 100% the same sizes in length, width and all the slotted holes are exactly the same, P-20 (20 blade pack) and P-30 (30 blade pack)
 
Much better shave with the BB Ti this morning. I think my angle was too big last time, so I used a much finer angle this time. Big improvement.

Definitely an efficient razor. Trying to decide if I’m an efficient razor kind of guy… we’ll see.
