On what would have been my 3rd day back at work after the holiday break, and my second day with students, we got a snow day. I took the opportunity for a nice, slow shave on this lazy morning. The Duck mows down whiskers as silently as any razor I have ever used.

This will prolly be a crooked photo....
Last night I celebrated my first hump day back at my old job. The Diamond Wires razor is sharp personified. I have never seen a grind so dang thin, to top it off, sharptonn put the sharpest edge ever on this thing. One has to shave perfectly. Nothing shaves me closer.

How do you like the bay rum Roy? Nice razor and strop set up.
Very nice,Roy.!
The Butcher came out sweet. [emoji482]
While I only had the 'cooking' bay leaves to start with and I liked the aroma, I've since purchased the oil from the correct bay leaf and it smells totally different.
I've got an experimental batch that I just made today sitting in the cupboard. I'll email you how it goes.
I thank you for sharing you mother's heritage Bay Rum Recipe with guys like me that are from all over the world. :tu

Always wanted to try a SE after hearing so many good reviews. Won 4th in the December give away, so got my chance. Arrived today. Extremely close shave, mowed down 6 days growth no worries. Closest to a straight shave I have had, no irritation and easy to use. Hands down better than a DE. Col Conk soap was great and nice lather, the scent of the TOBS very nice too. Anyone who hasn't tried one, have a go. Grazor approves...
