I dont know what to say. I hadnt shaved in two weeks. I decided to shape up a goatee. Now....those of us that wear goatee's know that they can be tempermental to shape. Well...I keep going shorter and shorter due to uneveness until I had to whack it off. Now the story gets interesting to me..in that I have NEVER shaved my chin with a straight razor. Man O Man that was a difficult spot for a first time. I have alot of weepers now. Well...I think Ill be going a few days to regrow some hair for another goatee
On a side note...I had some Killer Mutton Chops I had to get rid of because I had no facial hair and it ust didnt look right.

Hey guys, today I had the opportunity to test shave my two worst looking razors. I got these for under $2.00 each, and I'm happy to say they are great shavers. I still have no idea where, when, or by whom the rangoon razor was made. These will both be getting new shoes and a bit of shine very soon.
Both razors freshly honed on Diamond 1200, BBW, Coticule (HHT no problem), balsa w/CroOx powder, newspaper stropped 40 laps, TM latigo 50 laps.
