    Thanks Joe....I should be fine-just a routine physical. Course the doc might notice something I haven't noticed.

    Congratulations, Andrew! There’s no better feeling than when your personal shaving technique based on your unique beard grain reaches the point that you can pump out BBS after BBS. Great shave!

    Lovely shave, Joseph! Glad your lather and the scent of your soap was so pleasing!

    it is a well earned skill and not one for the frugally minded..i can understand the club-mindedness being a volvo specialist..if i was a pure hearted gillette evangelist i could say gillette has shaved the most people,the most whiskers,most miles of hair and so on..but i am not,so i won't..i like it here at TSD..where the weenies get weeded out in short order..friendliness and encouragement promotes growth in the hobby..:)

    Same rain here. Those Gulf tropical storms are going to keep it wet here for a while I believe.

    Good thinking. You would have to change your handle to "Lighting Rod" if that happened.

    Thanks, Joe! I said killing the edge, but I’m really only removing the rough chaff. The bevel on all my razors are well set, so there’s no need to reset it. I like to think that I’m refining it in the spirit of master honer, Howard Schechter featured in one of Nickshaves’s videos. After removing the chaff I hone the razor on my jasper stone without slurry under water. There’s no need, I’m simply refining the edge. It’s worked beautifully on two of my razors. I plan on using it with all my razors with a decent bevel. All I know is that the shave feels much better afterwards. So to use your terminology, I’m a big fan of smooth sharp.

    Great shave, Joe! Is that a Solingen blade?
