And in style JB!
Good to see a straight again.

Thanks. 2+ years is a long time "between shaves". Rotator-cuff issues, shaky hands, and numb fingers make for an "interesting" experience. As I used to tell JimmyHAD, the secret is to be "methodical and deliberate" -- decide where, what, and how you're going to do it, then do it... and "do it" in multiple passes.
Tea for Two
Had to touch up & test a nice couple of razors for a friend, and used both for today's shave.
Razor 1) T.R.Cadman & Sons Sheffield "Bengall" - 5/8 FH
