    Sorry about the cut. I guess its the price to pay for being bald and so good looking. ;)

    Thank you Jim. The tenderloin was marinated in teriyaki and turned out fantastic. Even the smoke ring was even all the way around. I never manage to get that right.

    Thank you Joe. We have had really good luck ordering groceries online since all this started.

    Thank you Tim. I have to remember not to get in the reflection off the razor.


    Thank you Gary.

    It was in the high 80s last weekend with a brief cold rainy snap this week. Supposed to be sunny and very warm this weekend. I cook outside much of the year but I really love to cook outside when it gets warm.

    Got up extra early today, to give myself some unrushed 'MAYhem' time as @9nein9 's weapon of mass destruction arrived in the mail on Tuesday. Had to do a few minor repairs, as even though Patrick packaged it very well, Canada Post still managed to dislodge the blade from the handle. A little Epoxy did the trick. Detached solder and 5 min epoxy- What could go wrong? Patrick packed some bandaids, just in case. The shave pic was taken a few days ago before I got the package in, so I just added a 2nd close up shot of the 'New Brunswick Kami'.
    Whipped up a great lather and had a careful first pass with the Butterknife special. Not much blood, actually, but I also stopped at one 'with the grain' pass and finished up with a Canadian Rocket. The razor was pretty easy to use, truth be told. The thin butterknife handle made it seem quite Kami like, and allowed a super shallow angle. There was more blade flex than I would have anticipated, as the de-spined SE blade grabbed by the top edge wasn't totally stiff. It was sharp, though- I gave myself a little scratch on the chin after a minor 'grab', but all in all, not much MAYhem to report. The Epoxy even held properly...
    Perhaps this weekend I'll try to complete a few more passes with it. Thanks for the handiwork, Patrick!
    Have a great day all!
