And the pickings were pretty good this evening between 10000 and 12000 kHz. Must be a good time to DX.

These Thorogoods, (although a lot of you don't like the sky blue 550 paracord laces) are probably the best pair of workboots I've ever owned. They fit perfectly, a narrow D width, toes are very comfortable in the steel toe box. I like the wedge soles a hell of a lot better than the standard heel on my Red Wings. These do awesome walking on concrete and asphalt like I do all day long, they actually seem to put a zip in my steps, they don't feel like clod hoppers like the Red Wings. The six inch ankles are breaking in nicely, and these boots are actually made with Goodyear welts, so they can be resoled. Not like the Red Wings that you have to ship back to Minnesota to have it done. These were well worth $300.

Thorogood 804-3600. Bought them for work

This turned out pretty cool if I do say so myself

You think I have enough blades fellas? This isn't even 25% of them. I have almost all the popular ones for sure

The RazoRock Game Changer .84 with UFO handle-what can I say? First time ever shaving with this instrument, got it today, and it's a great double edge razor. I think it literally blows away every other double edge I currently have. Baby butt smooth in 3, almost no irritation. Efficient. With the new Gem Diamond Glide it's a no brainer. The Speick? Very good quality shaving products. If you have to shave, might as well make it as comfortable and enjoyable for yourself as you can. I think I'm gonna like this stainless steel razor. I already do actually.

I heard these new AccuTec blades are really good, comparable to Feather, so I'm gonna give them a try. We'll see if that's true.

I've been wanting to try Speick for at least the last 7 years, just never got any until now. Speick aftershave comes tomorrow, I'll try it then.

Very simple knot, but I'm just getting back into paracording after being away for a while. I made this one to match as closely as possible to the safety stripes on my work uniform (I just wish they made reflective paracord similar to the reflective stripes on a safety vest)

Just made a fresh 550 paracord wristband. First one in a long time, but all my stuff was right where I left it and I didn't forget this weave

Pre de Provence No. 63. If there's one thing I like a lot that comes from France, it's this. This is a hard puck, but it lathers like a champ. Great residual slickness. The matching balm is good stuff. High quality. Yeah this is one of my favorites. Rockwell 6C with Gillette Minora blade. Great shave today

Also this most excellent soap from Wet Shaving Products, modern Schick injector blade, and good old drugstore Mennen Skin Bracer. For some reason the Schick Injectors work very well on my 24 hour stubble, when my skin is most sensitive. Got a nice shave with this gear. This is why I'm a big fan of vintage Schick Injectors. They give me great shaves, even with only a day's beard growth. And this type I is just as great a shaver as the other Schick Injectors I have. Any one of them will give a great shave.

Merkur 34C with the dreaded evil Feather Hi-Stainless blade, soap and splash from Hendrix Classics & Co., Leaf Razor for the head shave.

I actually got a really good shave with the 34C today, even with the mild character of this razor. This was my very first DE razor, and my technique has improved some after 10 years. With good technique you can shave with most razors, mild or aggressive. HC&C has some of my favorite artisan soap and splashes. Leaves a great scent, but not overpowering.

I'm in my work week, delivery driver, layover at hotels. I got this Weishi TTO long handle razor some years ago for free, it makes the perfect travel razor. And it shaves pretty well. The Arko stick is also great for the road. And with this humble shave gear, I got a great smooth shave. You don't always have to have the most expensive gear to get a great shave, I like to go budget when travelling. Clean shaven, good appearance, ready to face my customers.

I created a new thread because the original subreddit wouldn't let me post a photo. Anyway concerning the inquiry, this black tip Super Speed is mine. This was one of my first razor acquisitions. The date code is X1, which puts its manufacture in the year 1952. The date code is kind of hard to spot, but it's in the upper corners of the bottom of the head. The letter is in the left corner, the number is in the right. These were made in the codes W and X, 1951 and 1952. From what I understand this was Gillette's first foray into using less expensive materials in razor manufacturing. The Korean War was happening in this model year, and the military needed brass for armaments. Just like the one below, this has an aluminum handle and plastic twist knob. From what I understand this model of Super Speed is highly sought after by collectors, and even with the less expensive materials, it's a damn good razor. Shaves beautifully just like any Gillette TTO from the 50s. I almost gave this razor away a few years ago. I'm glad I didn't. And to the fella who found his below, nice find. They didn't make too many of these.

I don't know really if it's much different than the E, at least not to me, but nevertheless it is a fantastic Injector razor. Paired with the Van Yulay soap and the Stetson aftershave it was a very good shave. Those 60 year old Plus Platinum Injector blades haven't lost their smooth sharpness just because of their age. Not one tug on any whisker, cut right through my 4 day stubble like hot butter. BBS in 3. That Van Yulay soap is about 6 years old, it's softening, but the scent is still great and it still lathers up like a champ. You just have to use lots of water or it lathers up like paste.

What a difference a copper wire makes

First it was WRMI, then it was something else entirely. One song, then the next, then a totally different language. Reception was great though for the west coast at 5:00pm.

Type I Schick Injector. Besides a couple of minor blemishes, it's in great shape. Expecting a G on Monday. For some reason, Schick Injectors work really well for me. I'm certain this fine specimen won't disappoint.

Yes, I found my LaToja shave stick, my Omega 9005 boar brush (lost for years lol) and my Proraso balm. Also my Type E Schick Injector with those old vintage blades I got recently. Soaked the bristles on that old boar brush, it still made a pretty decent lather. The LaToja is a good shave soap. Kinda rough on the first pass probably because I didn't prep well, but still a good smooth nick and cut free shave. I'll try this shave again, next time with proper prep.

More vintage Schick Injector blades from the company's Warner-Lambert era. It's no secret that I love Schick Injector razors. EBay is a pretty amazing place, and there's still a lot of Schick Injector razors and blades in the world. Makes it really cool for fans of this shaving format.
