Thanks for mentioning the Aloe Vera, I forgot I have some growing out the back. I just put some on, the blisters are just coming through now 24 hours later.

Grant,
Great to hear about Jacky having a blast. And hope your hand heals fast my friend.

This was my first straight razor. I paid $20 for it at a local antique shop. It's been a consistent top performer every since.

Beautiful blade. I know what you mean about one's first razor. I feel the same about mine. BTW: Love that pocket watch.

Two days off the straight and I'm shaving like a noob!!

Welcome to these necks of the woods (i.e., SRP and SOTD) Oscar. Great to have you here. Nice shave, despite the nicks. Hope they heal fast. I enjoy all your posts on B&B and hope to read them here on SRP as well.

Glad to see you back with us Robert. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Glenn,
Congrats on your DB DS...It is HUGE. I love mine too. You can grow a plant in it.

PS: Thanks for the kind words. We are doing much better. Wife is coping with the situation a lot better. We have a very strong support group between family and friends.

Monroe,
I think you really are liking this blade. She is a wonderful shaver.

Friends,
I don't need your "thanks".
It is a pleasure for all of us to give one of our members some support. And this is the important fact. A lot of people take part.
Everybody can come in the same situation and would be happy, if there would be a lot of friends around the world who write a "Good luck".
We don't do it for our own reputation... we'll help a friend!
BTW:
It goes around the world, because most of us posted their articles in the Spanish-forum too.
