Well every 2 weeks or so this day comes along and I enjoy it to the fullest.... This is the day that my "Best" shaver comes up in rotation, mind I have plenty of really good razors many of them considered to be even great shavers, but nothing gives me as nice a shave as my little
" Mystical Mack the Knife"
I am beginning to think it just fits my face better, it really can't be that much better than it's stable-mates..
But enough of that what a great morning .....

For the first time this evening I honed a blade to a point where I feel the shave was excellent. This one is on par with the other blades I shave with that have been honed by gentleman with experience. A much different feeling when getting a great shave from your own edge.

I have to agree with you there -- there's just nothing quite like it!
