There may be a shave or 2 left in this soap, probably only 1. It's been a fun one for sure and hate to see it go. Still have the Stirling Deton-8 as a match for Spicebomb though. 2nd shave with the IN TARMAX and another great shave with it. I like this better than the original TARMAX which may just be the difference in an Injector blade versus a DE blade. The SE TARMAX is inbound so i may send this off to the next participant so as not to hold things up. I used setting 9 again which while shaving finds it's way to 10 which is fine. As BBS said it will bite you if you aren't paying attention on the atg pass. Got me the 1st shave for a little nick on my neck. No issues at all this shave as I was more attentive to stretching the floppy neck skin. Have a great day Everyone !

Blade: Gillette Platinum
Brush: Graydog Cocobolo/Synbad
Soap: Ethos Vanilla Safi

So here is a razor not in Waits Compendium or anywhere else I can find on the internet but it's an Open Comb for OCtober. If anyone knows anything about this silver plated vintage travel razor, please fill me in. It was a smooth but very efficient shaver. Just a joy to use and have. The Vanilla Safi fit right in and is a generous sample from Pete Patriot who I hope is well. Take care everyone !

A hobbit razor, the Bilbo!

Looks very interesting, especially as you say it is smooth. I would have thought aggressive and scary! Maybe you are the razor whisperer!

Have a great day, Dave!

Curious, is there a handle or rod? It looks like there are grooves inside the holes on the "legs" or "hand-hold". But given it is for travel, truly a pocket razor as it folds so flat, I am betting you use your thumb and a finger, holding sort of pinched, but with finger and thumb spaced much farther apart than a typical "pinch." Very cool, nonetheless! Another exhibit that works in the Museum!

Thanks, that is very interesting.

And how did I miss the 'Stache!!! At first, no lie, I thought you grew one since the last video, lol. Than my better judgment said No, no one but the Bearded Lady grows facial hair that fast! So, being a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I went to Utube and saw this is almost a year old. In any event, ya got me!!

Interesting razor design! Lots of audible feedback too.

Great job on that video Dave.
