Looking forward to your thoughts on all three. The HCS replica is up soon for whisker-whacking duty.

The only one you have to impress with the restraint is yourself. 21 days and counting is a great start. Keep it up!

Great shave Dave. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on those three. Luckily, I'm not tempted by any of them. I just watch for the banter. Saturday morning coffee with my buddy Dave. Lol.

Have a good one!

Great video! I have been deep in the world of modern offerings with back to back pass arounds and writeups/comparisons. I appreciate that you took the time to present considerations on the alternatives. I have always enjoyed the aesthetics of the original Gibbs. How would you rate the efficiency of the Heritage (at its highest setting) vs say the Blackbird Ti or a Schick Adjustable (at its highest setting) with twin injector blade?

BTW, I need to get focused and complete some reporting on the Shake Sharp, now having tried a few different blade combinations in both single and shimmed blade configurations. I made an off hand comment the other day that the Tatara Nodachi Ti I am currently evaluating reminded me of a mix of Blackbird TI and the Shake Sharp. There is something unqiue about the "feel" of the Shake Sharp.

P.S. I recall your public statement in 2022 to Frank, in which you asked him to hold back the now released soaps. Just in case this thing ever goes to trial Smile
