    What a beautiful setup, Keith, and congrats on the epic shave. I'm a Lavender junkie, and the CF is top notch!

    Stayed true and shaved well. Still 69f (20Canadian) on the prairie, a lovely evening. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

    Have a great evening and a pleasant Saturday!

    Was not Jag the first to put disk brakes on their racers in the early 50s? I was thinking it was airplane disk brakes that they used.

    You guys are a rough bunch. I was already enabled once today.
    I'm going to bed before this gets out of hand. Good night, gentlemen.

    That's pretty impressive, Chris. I am about 5'10" and weigh about 180. A couple of years ago I was 205-210.

    Thanks Bruce. Yes, shaving my head for many years helped me to map the head stubble. I have used a shavette and a straight razor to shave my head. The trick is to use both hands with the free hand as a guide to position the blade at the proper angle of attack for shaving the back of the head without mirrors. Also, whatever razor you use, you shave by feel so you don't miss any areas. When shaving the fuzz on the scalp, you keep the razor as flat as possible just as you would going ATG on the chin. Finally, it does take longer to shave your head because there is more surface area than your face. Also, the skin on the head doesn't give so you need to keep blade below the suggested 20 to 30 degree angle for face. The toughest part to shave is where the neck and the base of the skull meet to form a deep curve or valley because that is where you can nick yourself very badly. One more thing, if you use a regular straight, then a 5/8 round point would be the proper tool due to ease of maneuverability and to reduce probability of injury. Other than that, headshaving with a straight or a shavette is a piece of cake. Lol!
