Another wonderful 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few generous squirts of Tommy Hilfiger Bold EDT spray to the pulse points.

Gotta hate having a cast iron skillet in your nose though.

Northerenders call those leftover concoctions depression stew.

When I was in the printing ink business we used the term ‘work off’. Where sins, overages, and mistakes were carefully integrated into a salable product.

Nice shave Barry

1st outing with the Carbon Razor. VERY well built and close tolerance machined stainless steel razor. Nice balance and feel. Blade hangs over the edges if that's a problem for you (not a concern for me) I used the .71 Minus Plate. Mild smooth shave. I like the narrow head design but I got a lot of audible feedback telling me what you can see is the blade is held further back and not close to the cutting edge. Usually not something I like as I prefer rigid held blade razors. Not getting into a debate on this. I know what works for me. That said I am going in with an open mind and seeing what the results are for me. No blade feel and a smooth shave. Not one of my closer shaves but a good one. Stepping up to the Plus (+) Plate tomorrow which has the .88 gap. Sorry about the poor audio. Chinese auxiliary micophone clearly was a waste and made it worse than just using the devices microphone. Have a great day everyone !!!

Thank you, Dave.

Thanks Joe. The pasta and sauce sound great.

I'd risk it, Danny.

Nice shave & Video Dave.
