Back to work shave. I've been off since last Thursday but is has been many miles. Thursday did 500 miles to Penn State to Pick up my daughter. Friday it was 630 miles to Wilmington NC, check into the hotel and then off to the airport in Wilmington to pick up the other daughter. Saturday after UNCW Graduation and lunch I drove to Raleigh NC, but just 180 miles. Sunday, another 550 miles back home. Arrived home to a few inches of snow so I had to clear the snow before we were able to get into the house. After removing the snow and hauling the "stuff" into the house, I was off to pick up the doggie. Finally, I was able to relax last evening. Today I spent a quiet day with my daughters which was really nice. Did some exercise and ended the afternoon with a really nice shave.
The edge on the Allman is really nice. Rene honed it up for me, he did a great job as always.
