... one for the Floyd fans, there.
Anyway, today is a fine day. Not only is it great weather out there, it's also Saturday and my cheerful Postman handed me a couple of packets.
We have a reasonable Schick E (£10 from the Netherlands) and a very shabby Durham Duplex Type-T (£2.99 from the US).
I'm only showing the Durham since we (well, MJC & I) are in agreement that this is not a DE, but an SE with two edges
Is this my biggest challenge yet?
After an age cleaning, cleaning again ... and again and again ... and again ... then again just to make sure, I think I have it about as good as it is going to be.
I cannot feel any of the rash with my lip, so think it's good to go. If I can find a supply of blades, I think I'll get this one re-plated since it gives one heck of a good shave.
The macro shots do make it look worse than it appears to the eye. Don't believe me? Take one of your own razors and shoot it in macro - you see all sorts that you just don't otherwise.
So, onto this Schick I mentioned ... An American E and one which will respond to some TLC.
... but a little elbow grease does wonders:
I've had a shave with the E and it was superb!
I'd also borrowed one of these Durhams before with a blade and got probably my best shave yet - so smooth and so efficient. I've got some blades coming ...
