Oh for F sakes. They're in CHRONOLOGICAL order starting from the earliest to latest. Maybe I should just delete my whole stupid account, come back here as 'carlystr8razrboi' and start all over again and every one can forget all the stuff I said before.
Problem is, as soon as carlystr8razorboi opens his big stupid mouth and starts waxing lyrical about the lovely morning sun and quoting weird stuff from obscure Jewish philosophers and asking if 'I am I or if I am NOT I' you'll all know it's ME!
Ok,CarI owe you an apology, they are in chronological order, except the top one, which doesn't count. Don't delete your account, you will loose all your likes.
Besides as you say we will still know its you. You could choose a "really cool" name like carlbigknifetigergunwhiskyv8driver. Or just call yourself carl, that way you won't have to say "oh for f@#$s sake just call me Carl". I may have paraphrased you a bit in the quote sorry for any Inaccuracy.

A 6/8" Grah & Plumacher "Blue Diamond" razor with blued tang, bought at Revisor's a while ago.
The first time I used this razor, I cut myself in my ear, the point is extremely sharp !
Since then I'm extremely cautious when using it.

Today,
No shave day :-)

Prep - None
Soap - Williams stick
Brush - Muhle XL synthetic
Strop - Neil Miller 3 inch Cordovan leather/English linen
Razor - Shumate "Trusty"
Poat - Alum block
AS - Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Cold water face lathered shave. Great little smooth shaver that Trusty. How I wish they sold the soap formulation in this Williams stick in North America, IMHO it is greatly better than the puck currently sold here.
