I don’t know why I love this humble little razor so. Probably because of my interest in all things celestial. Probably also because it’s a darn good shaver. It went to the bench for a touchup and unfortunately got shuffled to the back as I worked on other things. I forced myself to spend some time with it tonight though, and am happy I did. It’s nice to have it back in action.

Enjoy the rest of the week... if any of you are horseplayers, casual or otherwise (I fall into “otherwise” and have for decades), the Saturday card at Belmont leading up to the Belmont Stakes is incredible. I’ve been buried in The Form since lunchtime.

Have a great night, gents. Thanks for the fantastic shaves and conversation, as always!

Great shaves to-day, Gents!

Wow, Max! A photo in the middle of the week. Very nice.
How do you like the RX? I have been contemplating it, but I have heard it is a bit aggressive.
