I am going to say no way. You forget I'm an old fart beset with Parkinson's and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Modern medicine has me at 90%, but raising my elbow above my shoulder line increases my tremors to an extreme level. I'm able to use a safety razor on the dome because I can keep my elbows down. Skin stretching would require me to raise both elbows above the shoulder and the result would be a scalping that any 17th century Native American would take pride in. So no, I can pretty definitively say that won't happen, unless someone comes up with a cure for Parkinson's.
Y'know, I bet it was parellel parking that caused my neck to begin it's on-and-off routine of stiffening up. But congats, Myles .
@FaceScraper So....do you have a tracking number yet!?! That. Is. Awesome. Incredible. Wonderful. News. Charlie! Epic. TOTWE. And all those other best of the best adjectives.
Thanks, Joe! Right back atcha! I'll be dropping out of the focus a day early. Just have to shave with that new Riga Razor! I'll be touching it up this afternoon and possibly into the evening given the reputation for the hardness of the steel used in Sergej's blades.
Wonderful shave and photo, Charlie! Congrats on plugging along with the SRX. I'll bet the Hungarian Lavender is nice, too.
Welcome to velveteen land! That is one purty vintage razor! Sounds like you have the technique nailed!
Oh, I didn't forget about the Parkinson's. And, that's a big part of why I admire your resolve with the straights. I also didn't forget that not too long ago, you said that you wouldn't become a straight razor user....and just lookey atcha now.
Tracking number? Not yet. Order number? Yes. I took Jim's @jluc advice and ordered both the AS and the EDP.
That's what mirrors are for, Paul. They keep you from having to strain to look over your shoulder. They're wonderful inventions.
Great shave, Gary! No one's talking replacement, my friend. Variety is what life's all about except, of course, in the SWMBO area. Glad your shave went well.
Thank you, Jeff! I'll see if I can hold onto the technique. When reaching a plateau, I seem to waiver a bit while looking for the next one.
I have a cousin who was just learning to drive at the same time I was. My dad always used his side mirrors to check the lane next to him, but my cousin always swung her head around to the side to do that. I chose my Dad's way. Glad I did .
