  1. Yeah....my youngest daughter and I went to a Good Guys Vintage Car Show back in April. Of course there's a good number of vehicles in the show, as well as the parking lot with 'For Sale' signs. Even some of the 'pretty rough' looking Mustangs from the mid to late 60s had asking prices which......seemed a bit like....Wow....Really?

    Straight shaving will be a weekend endeavor until I get more comfortable.

  7. Thanks, Adam, and thanks again for the razor!
    I'm not a complete newbie. I have fifteen shavette shaves of experience. Not many but I'm sure it helped with this morning's shave.

  14. Dad had a greats shave with some solid performers. When I showed him the Karve and told him about he really liked it. He then ask what it cost and he could not believe I paid that much for a razor even though I bought it used. He was slick and smelling good! 20190728_114831.jpg

  19. Jim, you are on the right track! My 16th shavette shave was a head shave. At that point, I figured if I could headshave with a shavette, then I could face shave with a traditional straight. Again, I welcome you to the club. Once you gain more experience with straight razor shaving, you will see how smooth a shave it is.
