    Thanks, Clint, but I’m not completely dialed in until I get that Kai blade sorted! :cool:

    Wow, incredibly generous of Dave! Those blades are awesome as well.
    Looks like the border guards were asleep when that package came through...

    Great shaves, Matt! Stay safe out there; I hear the COVID SouthAfrican variant doesn’t play nice! :cool:

    Very cool staging, Jim. You're having fun with the light box...awesome. That EVO is such a good knot and the Wolfman looks as shiny as ever.

    Thanks, Patrick!
    I don't usually pay attention to razor and blade pairings, I usually just grab something randomly. The recent talk of the Gillette Winners made today's decision. Mighty fine blade.

    Patrick’s given you excellent advice about how to hold the razor to ensure that only the weight of the head is doing the work, Paul! I would also recommend sticking with the Red Tip till you get it dialed in! Cart technique and the ‘no pressure’ technique needed for the Red Tip are diametrically opposed to each other, and will only lead to more cuts! Stick to your knitting! ;)

    Thanks, Jason!
    The light box has really come in handy. I can now take my pictures at anytime day or night.

    I am not ambivalent about polishing the brass. I really wanted a black oxide finish. If the Blackbird stays it will get an antique finish. If the splash is not an exact match, it is very very close to me.

    Thanks Jason. I am really looking forward to trying the Nodachi out. I appreciate Clint sending it my way to try out.

    I have thought about taking a 6S plate and letting my neighbor mill one down. I did find some pictures where someone has modified one. Looks interesting.

    Beautiful shave Jason, I keep hearing good things about that supply razor. I enjoy my injectors when I use them and apparently that's a perfect modern day version. Have a good day
    Patrick, why don't you just use your free hand to fold your ear down as you swipe past it?
