Gillette Blue II disposable
Edwin Jagger BBB
MWF
Boots Freshwood aftershave

Just been for a little swim, now waiting for my eldest to arrive with his partner. Could be cynical and say he's only coming round to pick up his birthday presents as he's 21 on Tuesday.

I know! I know! I don't look old enough.

Nice photo Dr D, as usual! ... + I really like it when you get to Martin, re those UFO handles, well done! :D

Mikael, thank you very much. It certainly seems that Martin has relaxed with the UFO handles. Yesterday he said nothing, perhaps was confused with the psychedelic colors. :icon_eek: Today, a classic razor, the Old Type, with its original handle, and soft colors, mood relaxers.

Oh for God's sake.......it's a damn enabling conspiracy........sheesh. Yes Good Doctor, I've been aware of those SOTD pics of yours, plus Sir_Eider's also been taunting me as well. I'm like a helpless little bird being hypnotized by the snake(s). I know I shouldn't look at your pics, but I can't help it.

Heh, Mikey, I can see why you get a kick outta these guys doing what they do. They remind you of you I think.........

Is that a hockey puck, uncle Martini? We love that came over here and I played when younger and once I even was mistaken for a national team player, but that's another story (involving me getting a baseboll cap and pissing off a TV recorder film guy, but that's really another story) ...

I remember you posted that hockey story a while back......pretty damn funny one. If I'm not mistaken, it was during the 1998 Olympics in Japan, that the 'mix up' took place. I believe you tried passing yourself off as the US hockey player Cammi Granato and was selling autographs on the street. Naughty, naughty. http://www.realwomeninsports.com/granato.php

What's doin Uncle Mikey,

You seem to like those old Pakistani razors, so maybe I can do a small bit of enabling. Here's one I haven't tried cleaning up, but it looks to be in overall good shape. Ever hear of a #504? I bet this one would do a good job on those paint spattered windows.
Please excuse the horrible pics......sheesh.

Well, that mark on the monkey tail (yes Mary, monkey tail :D) hasn't really anything to do with what type of razor it is, it was an internal reference for the factory, as I get it. But, it looks to be a nice Helje and if you send me it 'll send you a couple of GEM blades you can use to scrape the windows with. Yes, that's how generous I'm am, you'll get several blades for one :D
