Today is a milestone in my shaving career... My 100th straight razor shave! It's been a helluva ride, and things just keep getting better and better. I've learned an awful lot in the last four months.. Alot of 7 and 8 pass shaves because I needed the practice, but I feel I have arrived. Not an expert, but I'm quite comfortable in all situations with both hands... No longer an apprentice, I consider myself a journeyman. I'll always be learning, but I'm well on my way!

Sensitive products today, for a sensitive guy... sniff, sniff...

And, in the inimitable words of my friend and mentor, Sir Ralfy... Shave On!!
