I agree with both of you.  Grazie molto ExtraProtein.

THANK YOU GENTS! Appreciate you guys, honestly, it’s the feedback that gives me the motivation! This one is indeed special.  I was having a conversation with a DFS Member about a few different tribes of the “First People” and we both agreed the culture, dance, chants are something special.  We shared a couple YouTubes and my mind kept racing the more I scrolled and watched Tribal Dances. I daydreamed at work about the HeadDress and Collar.  I had a different ornate symbol on the choker but in reality, the Tribes of long ago had hand tools and worked with bone, stone, semi-precious stones and metals.  They didn’t head over to Tiffany’s for a brooch.  Simple is realistic and I didn’t want a cartoon depicting a part of sacred American History.  Respect for the First People

Took the new to me Streamline for a spin today and I love the heft of these baby's as well as the more blade feel. What a nice, close and drama free shave. I'm told this is the earlier model and I don't know which is more aggressive as one is purported to be, but this was a great shave. I just had to be mindful of pressure compared to a 1912. I can't say anything about this soap that most don't know already. The scent is a great citrus lemon and lime to me with other stuff playing in there for the more in tune schnozzles out there. Most in Europe know of Brians soaps but here in the states you can to get from Pastuer's although Brian ships to the states as well. That's it for now and hope all have a GREAT weekend !!

How I love a good Saturday Morning Luxury Shave!
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Nacet
Brush: Trafalgar T3
Soap: Wholly Kaw 1776
AS: Royall Spyce


I discovered the sublime scent combination of WK 1776 and Royall Spyce in July during my turn with the Yates 921 passaround. The Yates is still my absolute favorite razor, but the Blackbird is growing on my affections.
