This was my first straight shave on back to back days, I thought I'd have awful razor burn, but surprisingly, none! And I was very, *very* careful to shave around the 2 slices I got 2 days ago... kept me honest, and I only got a couple of weeping spots that went away with cold water splash

Can't wait to get my Wapi's... "The Artist" is rapidly becoming my favorite, I want to see how it fairs against the Wapi

The favorite day in my rotation has arrived, been humming my song all day long.. Haven't been at work for a few days since I had to get ahead of this snow storm, so I haven't had time to even shave... Tonight I have been looking forward to since Tuesday when I saw what razor was peeking out... This is by far my best shaving razor and I love when it comes up in the rotation, This is "Mac the Knife" a 4/8 L.H.Mack of Columbus Ohio that makes me hum the old Bobby Darrin song every time I shave with it....
