I know what you mean Mikael...this is definitely a keeper.

I had missed this Kobar....Seems like ages ago when I last saw it. Looking forward to seeing your new blades into rotation...unless you already had them last week, which I missed

Every man has the right to change his mind...not too often though, LOL. Beautiful razor

didnt like the razor as much as i hoped to ... but it was a pretty good shave

I am sorry to hear that Todd..."Wosties" are known to be wonderful shavers around these necks of the woods. I am wondering if it's the edge that's not quite dialed in yet?

Nice shave this evening. First time I've used the Super Speed which is light in the hand and gives a nice shave with the feather blades.

Sounds like a wonderfully delicious shave Jeff. Well done. I love that scuttle. I have Julie's double version. It is huge (Matt and David have seen it). Great product

P.S. well done getting a straight shave in the hospital

God speed, and stay strong!

Stay strong and keep that amazing attitude that is determined to do as one pleases even in the face of the strongest adversity.

+1. Well said gentlemen

I am a Bay Rum addict now. If anyone know of any other good soap/creams in Bay Rum please let me know.

Haaaaa. That is too funny David. I know what you mean though. The right Bay Rum can be wonderful. I have that feeling about Sandalwood, specially Indian Sandalwood. The smell is just potently pure and fantastic. I was going to get some of the EO, but it is ~$90 for 0.33 oz.

Glenn,
That shave is worth a lot more than $1M, LOL. Great looking blade and excellent shave.
