Got that! Burn real fast. Well maybe I'll put some skin conditioner on the spot I did. By the way, I've shave often with the "bag '0 razors" without cream. I always seem to get a closer shave. Then I...

OCD I found the "shave of the day" but not the "cut of the day" ... apparently no support groups for us yet! lol The bleeding has stopped ... or plugged up and I'm "back on the horse." ... Going...

Thanks! I think? lol ":-Dx Well this one stopped me 5 minutes into my very first trial with a straight. So got to mend it before I can go on.

Received this Thursday a.m. I sent a private message and then did an edit. I think I ended up resending it to myself. Let me know if you do not get to see the message where I confirmed received. Some...

I wondered if you guys could appreciate this? How sharp and honed these swords must be and how he wields them so expertly. If he doesn't shave with a straight razor seems he'd be a good candidate....

Hasn't he now!! I am still mystified that some people still trust in this world. I appreciate it beyond expression! ":-Dx

:rofl2: I hope I can laugh through this all! I will say that when the blue razor came I tried it carefully thinking it was ready. But I soon realized this can't be real. It was then I realized it...

Thanks so very much. I will go slow. As far as the stropping I'm going to have to read up on that so give me some time for learning curve. I'm not sure how soon you want them back BUT THEY WILL BE...

Got that Addwyn. Understood for sure, thanks for the clarification. Love your profile photo. Wasn't he a great character actor. He'd probably never had an acting job if he wasn't born as weird...
