    IMG_0045.JPG Last night I had my first no blood shave! I used my Bismarck 406 that I honed myself. It was great, best shave to date. I almost got clean cut on all the problem areas too. I'm feeling very accomplished.

    I know I won't always do this but I'm just glad to know I can do it. And what I like most about a sr is that the next day my face still has less stuble than 5 hours after using any cartridge razor. I'll never go back.

    I like shaving with my shavette but there's so much more satisfaction with using an edge you honed yourself. It's like catching a fish on a fly you tied, instant gratification.
