Hello Toby, what kind of tobacco is that? I presume it's for a pipe?

Ronson, they of cigarette lighter fame, but why did they get into razors? Then make one that, whilst it is very well made, is complicated, but comes to pieces easily for cleaning but requires their own very stiff blade as it doesn’t take a standard DE blade. It has an interesting multitasking capability, viz and to wit, it shaves and strops. It’s very Art Deco 1930s and has quite a presence. It can be used today but requires the fettling of a DE blade to fit. I find the actual performance is then very acceptable. The blade can be lifted and rotated so you can utilise both edges during a shave. There’s a lot going on with this one, which makes the shaving experience quite satisfying.
Oh, the shave, thanks for asking, no drama with the pre shave soap and lather, one pass wtg, some pick up and finish for an ok shave on a day when I’m staying at home preparing for Christmas.
Have a fine evening fellas!



A lot of blade showing but the gap is quite small so its actually delivers quite a mild shave

And here it is in one piece,

For chewing if it says smokeless.

"Dip" or fine cut chewing tobacco.

It's a Spanish Leather/Cossack Hairspray smell kind of day today. No shave yesterday as Saturdays four pass was so efficient I I didn't need to Sunday shave.

The vector is behaving nicely. I could never go ATG with DE razors. Too much burn, but can with SE.

Yep! I think it is safe to say that the mystery Muster Dickson blade I've been using over the last three days (which we are led to believe is from Treet) is indeed their 7 Days Platinum.

A very nice lather from this soap. The scent is good and the lather is just impeccably creamy and slick.
The shave with this razor today was amazingly one of my best...hardly feel the edge at all...meaning it is so smoothly soft...wow! Perhaps due to some careful stroping on the Kanayama? 3 silky passes for a bbs-ccs finish!
