What a shave!! Felt a little sour though, but for over two weeks I´ve tried a new routine, to rinse with warm (warm like when you wash your hands water) water. I never was really irritated, but since I shave every day, sometimes the neck feels a little sour, but that´s much better now. Thank you Tony and Mantic, for the tip!

Have a nice day.

I can see that your all torn up inside about this razor. Your forcing yourself to like it. Dont worry. Mail it to me and i will give her a good home. She can visit the Bunny Ranch with me. Of course she will have to stay in the car.

You are feeding my RAD. Beautiful Custom

On another note I did not shave yet today. I sat up most of the night since I had a difficult month. In the last 30 days I lost a very close friends mother at age 89. A woman I called "Ma" who was like a mother to me. I lost my grandmother, age 98-101(best guess). A woman who used to provide dinner to my wife and I during our younger years. She left many grand children and great grandchildren and of course my father.
Yesterday my father-in-law passed. A good man, son, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and last, but he would say first, a US Marine.

So my thoughts for today are simple: Family, friends and good health are what is important in life. A good shave helps also.

Good health and god speed to all. Enjoy your day!!

Very Respectfully,

Very Respectfully,

Whoa! That sounds like one terrible month.
I am very sorry to hear this.
My sincerest condolences!
Take care of each other and allow yourself the time to mourn!

I have a job interview today, so I wanted a special shave. The Buddel delivered once again! This blade is truly amazing. I don't know if it's the suminagashi steel or the edge Gabor put on this blade, but it is truly effortless! I was nearly BBS in one pass. The second pass left nothing but memories of a wonderful shave! My skin is soft and smooth, and I am ready to go for the interview!
