Oh, I am sure you have nothing to worry about. It's all in good fun. I am also sure that Max is probably reading these posts and rolling on the ground laughing his head off. But you arr right, everyone of the vendors here is a master in their own right.

Tom,
First an foremost, it's fantastic to see you back around SOTD. We had missed you buddy. Welcome back. Secondly, I can only imagine the separation anxiety you must be going through with this blade. But, there are equally good ones to be had (with your name written on them)

Even without a good shave, we are with him. United we stand, in good or bad shaves

Wowww Andy,
"It's raining razors, Hallelujah" . They're both gorgeous. Can't wait to see the ones you got from Mikael. His collection is top notch.

Thank you Mark...I love this Wosty. She's a heavy one. I love the little colorful touches Max puts on his blades. This one took some time to hone up (being a wedge and all), but once she was there, there was no stopping her edge...scary sharp and smooth

I wish all of you a very good Weekend

I added Al´s Bomd and made superlather, they´re both better off alone, I think. Wonderful shave though, both face and doom´s very clean

No such thing as a "BAD" straight razor shave. Some are better than others. A unique group of gentleman is what you all are.

Nice razor Tom. I get it, this is a trick picture. Your camera is taking a picture of your camera taking a picture of your camera and the shave gear happened to get in the way.

Enjoy the day Gents.
