The Haul

GAW9576 said:
Thank you. I looked up the #59, the razor looks very similar to my Rocket HD. Is the razor different?
I'll have to go through my Aristocrats and ID them. I can't keep what ones I have straight. I plan on making little labels to put in with my razors to help with that.

No..The razor is a Rocket HD but this set just has the fancier case. :cool:
It does get easier to remember them all, in time..:)

Cool, so I have two of the three you mentioned for sure and just have to check my Aristocrats over to identify them.
What are your thoughts on the Gillette mono block?

The Monoblock can be 2 models,Early Rocket HD in blue case,Made in England,or the Yellow cased version ,without the "made in"and no lines on the twist knob..they feel the same shave wise.the plating isn't as nice on the Yellow cased version.I sold my yellow cased version ..1776442313325.png

Okay my acquisition disorder might have got a little out of hand recently. And I have one more razor on the way too.
I blame @Hosay18 for the Filomatic and the one razor on the way. His reviews and photos are just to good and I couldn't resist buying the razors after reading them and seeing all those wonderful pictures. Thank you very much Hosay. And the #58 set is @brit fault while I'm pointing fingers. Thank you Sir for your wonderful contributions to the shave community.

I have quite a few Olympus cameras. For these pictures I use an EM1 Mark2. For astrophotography I use an EM1 Mark3. For vacations I use an EM5 Mark3. I also have an EM5 Mark2, a PEN and a few more. Cameras are relatively cheap if you compare them to lenses. That's where the real magic happens. A camera which is a few years old will still work well but will be much lower in price. With lenses that doesn't happen. They stay expensive.

It's my next shave. So not sure on the shave yet, It looks really cool though and the handle feels nice. The push button action is really cool and very solid. I'll have to figure out the appropriate thread to post in when I use it.

Arrived a couple of days ago LE Emerald Chubby 2. Had a 5 minute soak in Hair Conditioner yesterday followed by one hand lather, warm water rinse and lap dried on a towel, left 24hrs and today she looks like this beautifly bloomed and not a hair lost!!

You fell victim to his incredible reviews too.
You got the same push button one as me with a pack of blades. That's funny. The Injector looks very much like the Personna injector. Are there differences or do you think they are a rebrand? The white one looks cool too.

I don't have a Persona injector, so I cannot tell :) - the razors are all in immaculate condition - I don't think they have been used at all. I will use the black one on Saturday. It was my intention to try to make something like this myself :) - so it is R&D... that's what I always tell myself.

Thank you! Can’t wait. You think the 88+ is good? For a reference I like Rockwell 6S with plate 4-5 and RazoRock GC 76.

Never used a Rockwell, but I find it’s smoother and more efficient than razors I’ve got or sold off since getting the Carbon Graphite CX;
Blackland OC
Timeless 0.95 SB
The Guido OC
Fatboy on 8
Aylsworth Apex SB
Again this is my findings on my skin, as usual YMMV, but hope of some help
Cheers
Les
