    Adam's apple *shudders*

    I always swallow, and hold the swallow (you have to hold your breath to do it) every time I go past the adam's apple--flattens it right out, and I no longer get cuts there--just everywhere else ;)

    A fantastic shave, regardless, Paul! :D

    It felt really nice to do it myself. The nurse in the hospital offered to shave me, and my son, Ben laughed. I’m glad I refused! Are you still nickel plating razors? If so, I have a French Spadson that could do with one. It is an insanely aggressive razor. I’m chafing at the bit to hear how your head shave with the Shake Sharp goes. Stay safe and healthy, Evan!

    Fantastic shave, Jeff. Can't remember if I have ever effectively started a shave ATG--that's a maestro move, sir! :D

    That General is a fine looking razor, btw--love the fluting :)

    Didn't have time to post after the shave this morning. Looked outside after I got up and saw 3" of snow outside. Went outside and shovelled. Insert Canada jokes here for those of you in the south...:). To put this in perspective, this is usually the week that some local golf courses would have opened. Coldest day on record in April here is -8.5C. Today it was -9C. Coldest April day in 100 years? Super.
    Anyway, I did have a nice 3 pass shave. I was inspired from the forum yesterday to pull out the Blackhawk, my only AC safety razor. Love this scent and got a very nice lather. I did have a careless setdown under my nose that resulted in a little red, but I am quite smooth.
    Have a great day all.
