Oh yeah! In the late 80's - early 90's I had several distributor customers in the "near" mid-west. Whenever driving around in Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, I'd make it a point to snag a lunch at a Bob's Big Boy. Haven't seen any in SE PA. Wife thought I was nuts buying the Big Boy dolls. (plural intentional!) Here's the whole gang.

Today's shave was with an Old Chopper, that was brought back to life. I had a fantastic 2 pass shave. This Old Wedge Razor is dialed in, and is so smooth that you don't hear, or feel it cutting. The results speak for themselves. BBS results, without any nicks, cuts, or weepers. One of my very favorite razors. Razor- George Wostenholm & Sons, Celebrated IXL Razor, Barbers Notch Wedge.

SUNDAY SHAVE Razor: Merkur 33c Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (new) Cream: Derby Lavender Brush: Omega S-Brush Post Shave: Cocoa Butter Lotion Stellar shave tonight. The Merkur 33c is an amazing mild razor and the Rapira Super Stainless blade is second only to the incomparable Astra SS, so it's no surprise this combo works so well.
