    Good morning all!
    This morning I got out a Ming Shi adjustable razor, loaded a new Feather blade.
    I had some bad feelings towad this razor, but being a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese knockoff, it was cheap.
    Can't remember when I last used it.
    But being cheap, it was just that, cheap.
    Now it's put together fine, the handle is light making it hard to ballance.
    I did the entire head shave grasping onto the adjustment knob.
    The face shave was wanting, I thought maybe I had it on 9, ok try 1.
    At 1 it didn't shave at all, not sure the blade even touched the skin.
    Back to 9 and on with it.

    Quite possibly the worst razor I own.
    If you ride the cap, it doesn't shave.
    You have to set the razor at an angle so the blade touches the skin.
    I think that angle is at about 90 degrees, scraping the hair off rather than cutting.
    Not very close, although I did many passes on a few areas to no avail.
    No issues today, not much of a shave either.
    This may be the only razor I've considered tossing in the trash.
    The saving grace is everything else worked as expected.
    I did do a whole shave, but it won't be long before I look like I skipped shaving today.

    All
    Stay safe
    ENJOY!

    Grand effort with a questionable razor, Terry. Have a great day.

    Good job getting through this shave, Terry. While I have never trashed a razor, this seems like a candidate.

    Thank you, Tim! It is definitely a popular scent in my household. Anytime I get unsolicited "You smell good," that is a good thing.

    Great shave, Jim! How are you liking the scent of St. Barts? I was thinking of picking it up to compare to my tub of Island Man.

    Great effort with a substandard razor Terry. I think I would toss it in the trash.

    Happy Monday. Everything played well together but I was not on top of my game. My mind was on work and such. Three passes and minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. My lower right neck proved to be my nemesis once again. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    It is a well done scent; I am surprised they had discontinued it. I am glad it is back.
