That's why!

A pity even if the handle resembles the Chubby's one. But the knot is far more glorious!

Thank you Joseph: glad you like it!

Schick N1, Schick II twin blade, shave 17


Blade is still going but the shave though BBS in finish was a little too mild. Either my hair was to thick for the blade or it is finally starting to give up the ghost.
