    Thanks Danny, so far so good but have to run out to help a friend with a car issue later and meet a guy buying my cpap machine..............Crazy day today..
    Thanks Jason. I didn't do the Polish. Guy from Croatia that lives in Canada and used to polish High end watches in Switzerland I think did it for me. Had a Faux Tortoise Shell too but sold it. 1 is a 26mm and 1 (Bamboo) is a 28mm. Had someone say they didn't make a 28mm. Only 26mm and 30mm. Checked with calipers and showed him mines a 28 so what do I know.....

    Sounds like fun, Clint. If you have any watch stuff that needs to done, this guy is great and he's in the neighborhood. I'd love to spend a day with him in his shop. http://timecareinc.com/

    I usually try to combine watches, BBQ, and ice cream into all my trips. ;)

    Congrats Paul. Astra is a good blade choice. Don't let the flimsiness of the blade fool 'ya. It'll mow down anything you place in front of it.

    Check the silo doors to make sure they have the blade locked down, light touch, locked wrist and stttttrrrrreeeeetch the skin. Experiment until you find the blade angle that works for you. It's about 30 degrees, give or take. You'll know when you get it right...you can't even feel the blade cutting the hairs.

    As others have said, a few one-pass shaves WTG on your cheeks with the Red Tip might be in order. You can always finish up with your disposeABLE until you're ready for the next step.

    Go man go! We're all here to help.

    I'm with you Charlie.,...on NB21 that is. At this moment, I do not require the utilization of a paper bag.

    That's the plan, as I listed in SOTD...Red Tip to begin, dispoABLE for the setup man and closer. That skin stretching might be a bit tricky for me. I'll have to be careful not to shave the hand that is doing the stretching.

    Awesome, Joe. The only guy that gets a better deal is @Hembree. He works about an hour a day and then plays with his iPhone for the next seven. :D

    Despite the scales, it is not a bad looking razor, Jeff! It looks like it needs to be polished. Honed, polished and rescaled would be the remedy.
