Thank you! Yes she is AWESOME! Super smooth and sharp. If you get a chance to buy one you wont regret it.

Oh i forgot to add that Max speaks highly of these.

Prep: Oil Cleansing method followed by Warm shower
Razor: 6/8 Dovo Speicial
Soap: Ogallala bay rum shaving soap\
Brush: Tweezerman
Bowl: Small lather bowl that I won at the SPokane meet last year.
Strop: Ruprazor paladin 2" with matching canvasl 40 canvas/60 leather

Good go all the way around and hopefully the beginning to a new week and a new life.

Tomorrow morning my younger sister will donate her spair kidney to me in an effort to save and prolong my life. I've been doing dialysis 7 days a week since april 2007 and things are slowly beginning to fall apart. At her request we went in and had labs drawn up to see about the possibility of a match. Just so happens we are. So now we are on the eve of a lifechanging event for the both of us.
in the middle of this I'd like to change and state that during this "journey" I've had the opportunity to come in contact with an absorbanent amount of people both locally and through the internet-some of whom are right here participating in SRP. As such I'd lke to take this opportunity to say to everyone....Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now for the request. Since my sister will be the first one going iinto surgery giving me another lease on life so to say. Could you please, if you get a chance think of and as such wish her well on this journey.

THank you all for your kindness and support

Nice job on a fabulous blade Matt.

What a nice shave Mike. Dipping in ice cold water sounds very interesting. It hasn't gotten that hot where I am yet, but will definitely try your method when we get there. Thanks for the nice tip.

Slept late today so I kind of got a late start on everything. Oh well, I guess sometimes you have to do that. Great dome and face shave 3 passes on the dome and 2 on the face.

Late or not, that's one great satisfying shave

Lovely, lovely shot today Robert!

LOOOOOL and thank you

Very cooooooooool Mike. Love that Bingham. Sounds like a wonderful day, despite the heat

Congrats Jeff on having Dylan out the kind of edge that is fitting for this beautiful RW. Sounds like a fun time was had.

Wowww Michael,
I had no idea you were going through such a challenge buddy. My thought and prayers are with you and kudos to your sister for being strong and having the courage to go through with this. But then again, that's what family is all about. Do keep us appraised of your situation (if you can). I am looking forward to seeing a "New & Improved" you (so to speak) with a new lease on life buddy.

Get well soon buddy

Good luck to both of you.
My thoughts are with you and your sister.

EDIT: Just read this, usually when I post I do it so fast.

Michael, I'd like to wish you and your sister strength and success, may all go well with the operation and transplant. I admire your courage and I sincerely hope things will turn out as planned. You both are winners, and reading you have gone through the dialysis on a daily basis for these years makes me think again how precious life is and how important it is to be a strong fighter, a winner.

May all go well tomorrow (or is it today?) so that the SRP community continues to have you in even stronger spirit and energy. It is empowering and motivating to read stories like yours, and will be true joy to hear all has and will go smooth on this from now on.
