It is a great, special effects, movie. Not much of a story line though...typical Hollywood today
Enjoy the sun and your hat...great looking piece

I dont know why, but I find it much easier. Even got a few patches I would call BBS

Excellent Grant :tu. I love the name on that razor (maybe I like mutations). Sounds like an X-Men razor
...and congrats on experimenting with XTG/ATG shaves :y. One more try and I am sure the technique will be there, giving you smooth and comfortable shaves with any razor.
