Hope you or SWMBO are feeding your mechanical assistants well.
Great shave Jeff.

 

Thank you Daniel.

 

Great shave and photo, Danny! Must be getting much warmer down your way!

 

Thanks, Joe! Dang family might as well pu a monitoring anklet on me!

 

God bless you, buddy, but you have the most extensive Gillette Tech collection I've ever seen! Enjoy your day, Gary!

 

Thanks, Daniel!

 

Thanks, Gary; it was.

 

Nothing beats a Thistle shave! That NYS steel can take an amazingly sharp edge. My son, Ben, has acquired one as well after shaving with my little Thistle Shorty! Enjoy your day. I’ll be honing a couple of razors this afternoon for one of my old hunting buddies.

 

Thanks Hogie! Max and Artie are my Sons of Thunder. Lol!

 

Great shave Gary! We were part of the Men in Blue team today.

 

I agree. However, I told the principal that I view shaving with a straight a historical lesson for the kids to be exposed to how men shaved in the early 20th century. The problem was that I encouraged middle schoolers to go on my site. I said that they were going on the site whether I encouraged them or not because they are tech savvy. Also, maybe some parents may have thought that I may slip in some mature content. However, I still have some of the students asking if I still do shaving videos. Lol! Who knows? Maybe when they reach adulthood they may go into wetshaving because of my videos.

 

He has until Sept 21 to download his gear here.

Lol! Thanks Jeff! I have seen videos of shavers using cleaver. I will paws on that idea. I am open to shaving with a 14/8 ( 1 and 3/4 inches wide) if some artisan dares to make one. However, a 14/8 straight would be my limit.

 

I think we have all done this. The way I learned never to do it again, was to focus keeping the blade "moving" at the start of the stroke. Especially with the DX!.
Practice your stroke without a blade in the razor.

 

That is a nice handle, Gary. Is it original?

 

Thank you Jeff. Enjoy your honing therapy session.

 

Wonderful workouts. Not bad for an semi- old geezer.
