    Fine shave Danny. The razor looks like a Gillette Superspeed.

    Thanks Joe...yes it does but it is solid stainless steel and the flare tip unscrews. It is very grippy.

    Take care.

    Today's setup:

    IMG_20250222_161005.jpg

    The weather here has now risen to between 0 and 5 C - very nice. But I still have the full goatee and moustache set - for the moment.

    I used the same setup today as I had on Friday. This time, though, I managed to shave within the lines...

    Since I no longer have a line of beard along my jaw to separate my neck and cheek regions, I just shaved everything together rather than splitting my shave into neck and then cheek regions. I did two passes -- WTG and then XTG. That removed the stubble and brought me back to DFS with silent alum.

    Hope everyone is keeping well and is having a good week.
