    It's a scene in "A Christmas Story." Geezers like me and Rich know it well. You can catch the movie on cable about 100 times between now and Christmas.

    30 days with all the same equipment?! No can do! But, I am starting another SE week coming up. But, maybe I'll take a look for the sake of the shenanigans... whom I think lived down the street from me when I was a kid.

    Its a focus, not a rule, so you don't have to lock down anything more than you want to. We always like different types of shaves.

    Charlie, do you prefer the looks of the walnut scales or the acrylic? Care wise, I don't think there is enough difference to justify going with anything less than what you want.

    Adam, I like both the acrylic and the walnut scales. I'll stick with the acrylic for now, but I've probably got a few weeks to think about it. :happy088:

    Thanks Keith. I appreciate you telling me about PRC and sharing the details about your kamisori. I'm expecting a 10 or 11 week wait.

    A confession, I usually don't like to leave any evidence but a couple of weeks ago I ordered another custom PRC. Damascus 7/8 round point.

    I'm hoping for a review when you get it. I like the looks of that one.

    I'm going to need to stop by there one of these days on my way into work. They are only about five miles away.

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    Great! Another place for me to lose money in! Great looking razors... I was considering a Hart Steel, but now I'm looking at these.

    It looks nice in 8/8, with walnut. Just wish I could get different wood like cocobolo or bubinga.
