So here is the kind of friends I have. I get a email asking me for my address. Not a really strange thing. The catch is that I have no idea what is coming. A box arrives and I dig out a nice Parker synthetic brush. Veddy nice. There is more though. the next thing I pull out is a black art deco razor case with a really really nice F in it. Yesssssss I said a F. This thing is georgus not only is it a looker but it shaves great. Thank you to the greatest!! (not Ali this time) I think it feels a lot like a G1 actually. Very very nice. It took care of two days growth with no issues at all. I feel super right now! Anddddddddddd the video!!

If Williams is listening.....They should make Williams Sticks available...Would probably sell like hot-cakes....Especially at airports and Hotel Shops...I'm surprised they haven't already...But then, I use a cake of Williams as a stick anyway....lol!....So in a way....they already have....lmao!

Yo Fuzz-Man.....heres some cool F-Stuff to go with your new treasure.... When I think about it....This razor is certainly one of the most romantic....I mean it hit the selves the Christmas before WWII broke out....Big Band music everywhere...Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James....Those great pre WWII movies....and this razor was the Cats Meow! It ceased production 6 months later when the govenment started to ration aluminum, to save the aluminum we did have for airplane production...Many of the cats who grabbed Schicks Finest, would soon be leaving for War!.... This iconic razor, was only made for 6 months....and made for THE GEATEST GENERATION of shavers!.... I buy the whole story, legend and scene... Wishing you many great shaves and times.....Welcome to the F troop....lol!

Mine, I would just dip and shake, in rubbing alcohol.....Dry with a soft towel....after using...That would keep it shiney! But if it does sit for long, it could need a scrubbing bubble squirt...
Maybe a dark patena could be fetching...Mine came all shiney so I don't know what that patena would look like....Thoughts?

Another great F shave today. I have felt that maybe I was not getting the best from this one. After reading that the blade edge is easy to damage when loading, I decited to try a new blade. Yupppppp. Great idea. Great shave today on 2.5 days of growth. This really is a top class razor. Now does it give a better shave then say my E2 or favorite G1. Nope. At some point a razor is a razor and a blade is a blade. I get top level shaves from all. However the feel of this one just makes it easy!! Veddy happy to have this one in my Den.

It is a really cool looking razor, but like you said, loading a blade can be tricky. I would still like to find one for my collection.
