    Thank you, Joe! :D

    I'm sure there are folks out there that love them, but I struggle with them using my shavettes :angry032: :happy102:

    Thanks, Jim! Amazingly, there have only been 3 or so blades that I would turn around and walk away from--the rest have ranged between pretty-darned-good and phenomenal :D

    The brush looks fantastic. Is that the knot from the Trafalgar T3?

    Happy Friday Tim. The fact that you are using a subpar blade without real irritation is proof of your progress.

    Definitely pleased with the results I've been getting and can't wait to jump into straight razor shaving.

    I've got the razor, but it's in desperate need of a honing. While it's getting honed, I'll grab a strop, some higher grit lapping paper for touch ups, and possibly some CrOx on balsa. My guess is that learning all the upkeep will be the most difficult part of shaving with a straight ;)

    Hmmm. For the time being, I think I'll have to be a one-straight guy--might take longer to hit 100, but I've got a couple of fine Gillettes to shave with, so that'll take some of the sting out of it ;)
