Same here my good friend...but instead at the end of the day I raise a glass of barley pop. HOG

There wasnt a whole lot of growth to deal with tonight after an exceptional shave last night so I kept it to a simple 2 passes. This one's not the prettiest razor in the collection but it's still a top performer. Very clean and smooth.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics Fellas

To be honest, the edge on this razor could stand considerable improvement. I wasn't thrilled with today's results but I still managed to salvage a decent shave. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Thanks Grant. I actually find the Kamisori easier to shave with than a regular straight...though I must admit that I share the same "fear" when it comes to using her, though it has lessened over time.

Sorry to hear that the edge wasn't quite there. Glad you were still able to salvage a decent shave.
