Home Opener Shave!

We were Doug .... We were also the Texas Rangers and when I was 3 yrs old .....the Minn Twins! I hope the owners never move them again! It's not fair to any city that SUPPORTS their team!

I was at a double header between the Expos and the Pirates at Jarry Park in Montreal back in 1971 - Rusty Staub and the boys - very exciting. My first and only MLB game. We had the AAA farm team for the Mariners in town for a few years back and had the pleasure of watching Danny Tartabull hammer HRs, lots of them. Take me out to the ball game....

Razor: Gillette Tech 1939-45
Blade: Dorco ST 301 Platinum SK (4)
Brush: WDC-7 Olivewood Handle, Silvertip
Soap: Route 66 Sweeny Todd
A/S: Pinaud Lime
Bowl: Knockout Shave

The Sweeney Todd shaving soap is brimming with the aroma of delicious Sicilian blood oranges, with their signature spicy berry undertone, blended with a hint of fir, warmed on a rich woody base. This is an amazing shave soap. IMHO. it is a long lasting, slick lather protective cushion and glide soothing post shave conditioning.

I had another blade scheduled for today, but I couldn't wait to get to the new old coticule. Probably the best stone I've gotten off e-bay. Quite hard surface. Medium fast on slurry, and it cuts on plain water very well, so I'll call it fast on water. Actually quite surprised at the metal removal in the finishing stages. Thus far, very pleased with her..
I haven't used the KB Extra in a dog's age. It's a nice little shaver and the multi-angle grinding on the toe up near the spine is very pleasing to the eye. I guess I gush about all my blades, particularly the one I'm using ...
