COTD: ...the less said about that the better :rolleyes:

After over 48 hours, I really needed this morning's shave. This is my travel setup, and it's what I'll be using for the next three weeks or so while I'm away from home. I forgot my homebrew moisturiser, so have gone back to the LR-P product, which is good stuff. You only need an amount the size of a match-head.
 
I classify my SR's by age:

>100yo is antique
50yo to 100yo is vintage
<50yo and no longer sold new retail is modern
Still sold new retail is current

This week I have been shaving my way through my T.R. Cadman "Bengall" 7DS. The set consists of three vintage ⅝, one antique ⅝, one vintage ¾ and two antique ¾.

This morning I finished shaving through my four ⅝ "Bengall" SR's finishing with the antique (shown open). I will be completing the week with the three ¾ SR's.

Like all my SR's, this set is a pleasure to shave with. Each gives a comfortable, close and smooth shave but each is different in its own way.
 
Is it just me? I'm seeing a lot of posts from members who use Imgur where images are not showing up on my display. I'm well outside Aus at the moment, so it's looking like an Imgur CDN might be either down or misconfigured at the moment. Other servers such as Postimages seem to be working fine.

I'm seeing Mark's original photo, and the photo in your quote also. I haven't had a problem seeing images in the forum posts. I do wonder why some pics have the word IMGUR on the pic and some don't? I use Imgur myself and my pics don't have it. I wonder if that is because I always use the "Direct Link" function, not the "image link function?

If you use the imgur web address (https:// i.imgur.com/ example) and use "Insert Link", it will have the imgur branding. If you use the direct link (https:// i.imgur.com/ example.jpg) and use "Insert Image" it will show just the picture.

That doesn’t often work for me. When I use “insert image’, I usually get an error pop-up “contact administrator”
