Excellent shave Pierpaolo and a great picture!

 

Thanks Joe....it should be in hand any minute.

 

Great shave Paul. We got to do something about those nicks.

 

Thanks, Maestro! Perhaps some day! The razors are listed in my den.

 

I look forward to your thoughts on it Danny

 

Great shave Clint. Glad you are enjoying the new software.

 

Great shave Jeff with some very nice gear.

 

Lovely shave, Blair!

 

Thanks, Danny! It was a nice shave!

 

Joseph mosdef has the mojo going this morning! EXCELLENT

 

Great Monobilt shave, Jason! The Monobilt is an excellent razor for my dome shaves!

 

Don't ask

 

Thanks Joseph

 

You are welcome. I think you will really enjoy it. They also have different flavors. The leather is very tempting.

 

Great shave, Evan! Your Segal is in great shape! Mine is pretty beat up. I agree that adapting a modern DE blade is a pain. That’s why I like Suneko blades in mine. They are the modern equivalent of Personna 74’s and I can easily get up to 10 shaves.

 

I think that’s one of the reasons I like vintage safety and straight razors so much, Jason! They're time-tested and proven. I particularly like using some of my old cast steel Sheffield straights that are close to 200 yrs old. It’s fun and awesome to imagine that I may be a 9th or 10th generation user of the razor, figuring 20 yrs per generation. Even figuring longer use in some cases it’s still probably at least 7 generations!

 

Great shave, Gary! Hope your day goes well!

 

Thanks, Gary! Good afternoon!

 

Yes, a nick is a deeper wound then a weep/cryer. Nicks happen when you cut into your skin because the angle of the blade is too steep. Weeps/cryers are more like abrasions on the top layer of the skin where the angle of the blade is shallow and too much pressure is placed on the skin. Hope that gives you a better explanation of the difference between the two wounds.

 

So, add more aftershave. Problem solved.
