    This was a flea market find a few years ago. I see one or two a year, but they are to beat up by time to come home with me

    Three days of growth met my Suzy Q after she got the Thuri treatment. Nice two pass shave and touch ups put those whiskers to bed. :chores016:

    Today's shave was with an American Made razor. I had a 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Not the prettiest razor in the bunch, but it was a "Rust Bucket" when I got it. It is a fantastic shaving blade.

    Razor- Suredge
    Brush- B400, By Tom
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Flying Cloud Bottle. Mmmmm Mmmmm Good.
