I don't know about you gents, but I have a great Easter day. I played in Central Park for 3 hours with a sax buddy of mine for all the beautiful people in their best dressed, the weather was great, the tips were great, I felt great all day. Only way to cap such a day off is with a hot shower and a shave.

Thanks to Max this is the sturdiest and classiest razor in my rotation. It's also obviously the sharpest, in a single stroke putting to shame the 3 other razors I was shave testing. Back to the hones!

Beatyfull picture and elegant equipment, Justin.
Amund, totally out sick with food poisining, no shaves but a lot of quality time in the bathroom watching my Den.
