I finally dickered him down to $60 but I wanted $50. The next time I came back the razor was gone. I should have just give him $60 and took the damn thing home.

I guess you would be a little pissed if I told you I paid the princely sum of $15. (oops, inside voice, inside voice!)

Silky Stick Smooth in 3 passes. I haven't decided if I want to leave the patina or not on the blade, your thoughts gentlemen?

Patina for sure!!! It is a beauty just the way it is!!! Congrats Joe... !!!

To quote Baldy, great shave, and, "looking like a crim"

Started the day dealing with a car dealer who just generally sucked and pissed me off.

Back on track with breakfast with a close friend, good workout at the gym and then a hot shower with a great shave, superb lather and hot towels.

That is all.
