My First cold water shave
I have always had a fancy for blonds and brunets. But today I may have for a Red Head. That is a Wacker Red Head. Beautiful 6/8 in dark horn. The cold water felt very good on this hot day. No problems at all using cold. 2 passes with a little touch up on my R neck. Beautiful shave. The Wacker performed excellent.

Great shave!
A co-worker, that was looking for a new electric razor, asked me: "What razor are you using?".
The look on his face when I told him I use a straight razor, was priceless.Last edited by Otto; 08-31-2010 at 07:11 AM.
