Broke this out today. I remember even AS was a bit, in your face, strong back in the days. This is mild for old school fragrance. Pleased with it.

What a beauty!

What a beauty!

Thanks, I think so too. I had one of these in early 2020 and thought then that it was a bit too heavy for me, so I returned it to Paradigm. But since then I have realized that slightly heavier razors are actually more stable with my dominant arm, which has a slowly progressive tremor. So I'm looking forward to trying it again, starting with tomorrow morning's shave.

I could have bought some CH3’s and others new … but I have a passion for these quite vintage stuffs .
Fattest super NOS

Thanks for looking and good Sunday

What a superb find, and a grey box … well done Chubby 3 from the “Sterilized“ era are becoming quite rare and difficult to get hold of. Yours looks brand new ! The hair quality was better then IMHO. if you can keep the transfer dry as much as possible - this era of water transfers are prone to discolour (green) if they get too wet over time Which would be a shame with such a fantastic brush

Definitely different fibres to Evo1.0. These are less crinkle chip cut and more naturally wavy. Very little glue bump (hurrah) and a palm lather demonstrated decent backbone whilst still being easy to splay. I’m looking forward to using this tomorrow.

I found the Baili BD179 TTO razor a good shaver and so I purchased the Weishi 9306, I'll soon know how it compares...

Top class enabling by @Boycie83

It's a stunner, I already know it won't be my favourite razor to use, but probably to look at. We shall see.
