Enjoy them all, Johhny. The razors look absolutely pristine! Freddy |

Johnny enjoy those two Super Speeds and let us know what you think of each. Believe me, with the excess of those that I have, it's litter mates will not miss them one bit. I still have two each of those in the same condition that are available. Thanks for buying them from me. It is appreciated. |

02-03-2012 02:20 PM (This post was last modified: 02-03-2012 02:21 PM by GDCarrington.) Here is another item that came across my desk. I have had a few come across recently. It was crusty and cranky and could not even open. After some TLC and some TriFlow, I was able to get it to move and open up. After a lot more cleaning and work this is the finished result. It still has a little bit of internal tightness when opening but the TriFlow has seemed to work out most of the issues. This one looks better in person than the photos show. ![[Image: 6813189589_73cf7d9fa7_b.jpg]](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6813189589_73cf7d9fa7_b.jpg) The issue is this is not the only Sheraton I have, so this one may be dispositioned at a later date. |

I have a Sheraton and as much as I like my open combs, this one not so much. I thought the concept of a TTO open comb was a great idea but it is not a great shaver for me. Freddy |
I picked up some maca root shave cream from the body shop today. I'll likely use it for my next shave here in the next day or two. |

A good friend from another forum (Luke) was going to PIF me some Feather Injector Blades his brother had sent him from Japan. He told me he was going to add a few goodies and hoped I did not mind. Well, the box arrived this morning and I could of not been more surprised. In the box was the Feather Injector Blades, a Schick I2 Hydro-Magic Razor, a tiny, tiny, Feather Travel Razor, and some Vikings Blades. WOW!, what a haul.
