Good Luck Grant!!! Break a knife!!! ( I guess that would work like break a leg).

-Semogue 1305 Boar brush
-Speick SS Stick
-Wacker Stosser Mod.4 13/16 Wedge
-Osma alum
-Paco Rabanne AS

Tried Taylor of Bond St. Eton College shaving creme today. Fantastic! I can still enjoy the aroma an hour after I've shaved.
Blade: Torrey "ARMY" blade that I rescaled with homemade camo micarta and 9mm brass around the pins. Chris Ellison honed the razor perfectly for me.

Oh brother. There is a simple fix to this: Change your doctor, LOOOOL. Get someone who can tell you what you want to hear...In all seriousness, sorry about the news Birnando...at least it's not something nasty, i.e., it will heal. That's what happens when you think you're 18 yrs old again, LOOOL. Great shave to make up for it though

L'Occitane is awesome Monroe. Great choice, especially coupled with that beautiful Boker
