    Well....perhaps. Problem has been with the "fancy" razors that I just can't seem to get the best angle as I shave, and also the "art" of slipping the blades in. These things are pretty routine for others, I'm sure, but have been tough for me. I definitly won't get an electric.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

    Thanks Gary....that looks like a nice one. I just need to be real careful, however some may be made just for guys like me-the strugglers. I still have some good blades from a long ago PIF by @wristwatchb -hope to put them to use sometime soon(Astra, 2 Feathers, Nacet, Silver Blue, to name most).

    ok Paul.let me know if you would like to try one.it pains me that you cut yourself a lot.something like this could be easy/safe to load and give a fine shave..i know it is cart razor like but if these had come out a few years ago ...the gillette disposables are not very good..

    Thanks, Clint! I’m a pushover for odd mechanical contraptions and this razor certainly fits the bill! Looking forward to getting the noggin scrape down! Hope the MWF procedure went well

    Thanks, Joe! Any snow there yet? It’s certainly cold down my way! Just finished a 10 mile bike ride in the low 40s.

    Well, that's the thing....it just takes me longer to figure out various tasks....then they can become more routine to me. As a teenager, I remember trying some of my Dad's carts, but it was easy for me-he had already put in the blades. Looking back, I probably had angle issues then, as now, though.

    Overall awesome shave Jeff. How many passes do you do with a head shave? Love that razor.

    We did not get any snow. At least not anything noticeable. Very windy.

    Most welcome.

    Eventually I have to get my bike riding skills back in order. I used to do century rides once a month
