    Default First Shave

    Last friday I ordered a Kinfolks from RichardHead on the BST, He is awesome to deal with and the shipping was fast. I recieved it on Monday. After lathering up It took a minute to get over that initial hesitation, I started on the sideburn and the hair came right off. The neck and under the chin were still a little rough but that will come with time. The best part no blood, I had one spot that was red but it didnt bleed. Now I'm hooked. Even my wife said the cheeks seemed to be smoother than a "normal" shave. If she likes it then maybe she wont mind seeing all these boxes showing up.

    While I was waiting for the razor to arrive I thought about it and had to laugh, I wondered which "Kinfolk " it would be; Jed, Granny, Jethro, or EllieMae. For those that dont know who they are, google The Beverly Hillbillies. Turned out it was Jed all the way. No nonsense at all, knew what needed to be done and just went ahead and did it

    Not so far, I found out the hard way that with gixen you can group bids so if you win one it cancels the rest. One particular I'm waiting for is a Joseph Elliot Silver Steel. Hopefully it is in as good of a shape as the pic looks
