    Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic review

    I did a review of the Chubby 2 synthetic (on another forum) ... but it's in Dutch [emoji14] I am afraid Google Translate is not good enough yet for translating shave gear reviews. I am not going to translate the whole review, but I'll post my main findings here later.

    Old school aftershaves

    Yes, Swiss Pitralon is really good indeed. I love German Pitralon as well.

    Sapphire also looks a bit artificial on such a watch, I think. It often shows an opaque ring around the edge. Plexiglass would have been even nicer but mineral glass is a good compromise (looks natural and not too costly to replace, if needed).

    Yes, it is a very nice looker, and I guess the crystal is plexiglass. Which is an excellent choice for a vintage watch, by the way, because it is easy to keep clean and inexpensive to replace.

    Best go to blades

    Personna Platinum Chrome. Perfect balance between sharpness and smoothness ... for me. OTOH: the best blades I used were vintage Wilkinson Swords. Incredibly long lasting as well.

    Can you take DE blades on a flight as hand luggage?

    Buy a Gillette Contour handle. Personna cartridges are quite decent, and vintage Wilkinson Sword cartridges are superb.

    Can you take DE blades on a flight as hand luggage?

    Probably true for 90% of the questions on this forum, so this is not worse than some other posts ;) I still have my (father's) old G2 razor for travel. Easiest razor to find cartridges for, and it shaves quite well. Though lately I mainly took my (also old) Contour razor, since I nearly left my...

    Just ordered the Muhle R96...

    Interesting because V1 and V2 also shave the same. So differences between V1 and V3 are probably minimal as well.

    There are several posts with comparison photos (V1 and V2 are almost similar, V3 looks different) ... best to use Google Search magic.

    Can you take DE blades on a flight as hand luggage?

    Not allowed. Oh, and some airports are known for their unfriendly security staff ... I certainly would not even try it there (speaking from personal experience with security staff at certain airports going wild about laptop locking cables).

    I only have one pet peeve with most ETA quartz movements; the irregularity of the second hand motion. The high end Omega movements (e.g. in the Seamaster X-33) and the recent Longines VHP movement show that they can do it right. Why not fix it for their other quartz movements? -- Pitralon...
