    In my case the growth beneath the jaw-line is parallel to it and with my angular facial features it's very difficult to go along that part with a longer blade. As for the areas around the ears, they are easy to get to with the toe third of the blade in any direction.

    We aren't addicts. Addicts go to meetings.
    Aren't we meeting here every day. AA is only once a week, for cryin' out loud.

    You can go just once a week but some people go once a day or more. And what do they say something like two alcoholics in a room can have a meeting. Not that I have a razor buying problem or anything. I'm just saying.

    Are you done with those razors yet Bill?!

    (Oh, by the way, I just added this signature thinking of my wife. Shhhh don't tell her.)

    So, anyway, I honed the Dwarf and tried shaving with it and I'm afraid it didn't work so well. It took the scrub off but it didn't shave very close even for a first pass. I figured that a reverse pass would be less than pleasant and so switched to a 9/16-5/8 Henckels Twin I also wanted to try. It worked a bit better but it had the same shortcoming of most smaller blades in that it's just too light for my taste. I'm not giving up on the Duck after only one try- I figure I didn't hone it well enough. So it'll be back to the ole Norton tomorrow.

    I've already quite. (several times)
    I no longer collect straight razors. Now I only collect antiques. My collection is very specialized, and focused on metal implements which facilitate the removal of body hair.

    Sheesh, I kicked that old straight razor habit LONG ago!

    I notice Icecow has changed his avatar pic. So... is that one titled "When Bovines Go Bad." or "Bovines Gone Wild." ?
