    Not yet. I think they are in the mail on their way. I just loaded a Gillette SharpEdge Yellow since I heard good things about them. I think I found the Astra SP better than the GSB. Wasn't impressed with the GSB so far. Have a bunch so it could have been a bad one or my technique was bad(possible) but time will tell.

    Thank you Doug. It took a good couple of weeks for her to recover, but she is feeling much better now.

    Love the baby photo!! Thanks for spoiling us with continued photos.
    About the C1, with the blade about 90 deg. to the handle ( it seems to me), does it feel awkward to shave?
    Does that thing have a Cap to ride or is this more like a SR where you are just hanging a blade out there and it is up to you to keep it light in pressure?
    I bet it can create a real shallow angle.

    Frank, you pretty much have to shave with it with the handle parallel to the floor and the cap a degree or two off your face. If you actually have the guard touching your face it doesn't cut a thing because it then lifts the blade off of your face. It takes a little getting use to but most injectors shave at a similar angle.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Well done! And while the thought of you in a meeting with gauze wrapped around your face trying to explain it was just a minor shaving incident brought a smile to my face, all's well that ends with no blood!
