I found found Feathers to be sharp but rough. Astras were sharp and smooth so I used Astras in my DE's.

I use an Ever Ready 1912 single edge now. The old box of blades said "For Industrial Use Only". Which although sounding macho probably meant I had bought the wrong ones. Still I used all 100 blades.
I think I have the correct Gem blades now. 15 pence a blade.

My shave accoutrements this morning included a ‘47 Gillette Super Speed, first year of production.

Tuesday I used a Feather shavette.

They are products for men. That's all.
Folks are into the retro bespoke thing right now. Pipes & razors hit both markets.

There's that damned word again! Was just talking about this! "Bespoke" hasn't been used stateside for decades, and now it's everywhere marketing appeals to hipsters.

Lets restinguish the embers of this wiredraw, before it grates the everlast of our gramercy. Lets keep the conversing to the junketry of delightfulness. Fucking hipsters. puffy
