    Thanks Perry, I'm pretty stoked since I honed them myself. It's funny I'm actually more interested in learning to hone then learning how to shave with a straight. But I cant really test my edges without shaving with them.
    Thank you, Joseph!
    Uhh, Thanks. I guess?!? :)

    So what my friend Primo I saying until you try them all you want know for sure. Don’t worry you’ll be able to sell the ones you don’t want.

    Welcome to the Darkside! We have been waiting for you.

    I’ve been trying to but I always lose out on the big razors. This little 6/8 razor, I guess no one wanted it.

    Sounds like a pretty successful first straight shave, Andrew! Congrats! Great job on honing as well.

    I don't blame Fuzzy for approaching this shaving thing cautiously. I recall his traumatic shaving experiences early in life. Poor kid.

    Great photo, Clint! Is that a thin bar handle on your New ?
    Another fantastic shot Jim! Though I must confess, sometimes I miss seeing your map background.

    Thank you, Andrew! That map was actually a little box I kept several of my straight razors in. My wife "cleaned" the counter a bit, and the box found itself put away. I'll have to dig it out sometime.

    Went off the ‘basics’ focus again this morning, save the razor which I have used all week. I wasn’t sure about this smoky orange scent when I first used it, but as I mentioned yesterday, it has really grown into favourite status with me. Excellent 3 pass shave early this morning, finished off with the CL. Definitely qualifies in the ‘Just for Fun June’ category.
    Have a great day all!
