I didnt shave yesterday so we were up against a 2 day growth tonight. I really enjoy shaving off 2 days worth of growth, I find it very satisfying, but I like posting here too much to do it all the time.
This razor would have had 10-15 shaves since I restored it and its not even thinking about a touch-up, still giving me a fantastic shave. 2 very enjoyable passes left me clean and smooth.
The Old Spice mug was recently un-earthed by my Dad in his garage, it belonged to his Dad.
I love it and it will always be a part of my equipment, but due to its size it was a little too noisy tonight. I kept clinking the brush against the side while the kids were sleeping in the next room.
So many great post and pics lately, would have liked to comment on many of them bit I've been busy working on a couple of new display cases in my spare time. At least we have the Like button.

Have a great day gentlemen
