Sorry no straight today. This is my annual double edge shave. As some of you know this was my Dad's razor and the one I started shaving with. The significance is that he was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked and this razor was there too. Something I don't want to forget and he couldn't. I would like to be able to pass this tradition on to my son or son-in-law. He passed away 43 years ago at the age of 51.
A week later I was in Marine Corps boot camp wondering what I'd got myself into, lol. Have a good one.

The Day? Slush coming! The Shave? A pleasant whisker whacking in one and a touch.

First shave with a slant, but not just any slant! This is THE prototype created by one of our more 'illustrious' members back in 2007 by mating the long, heavy handle from a 138C to a slant head using parts directly from Mercur. Seems the idea was so popular, production of the beast was begun from the factory. Great, comfy shave! :tu
Your Dad deserves remembrance on this day ... and to have the remembrance passed along to future generations.Quote:
