Hey Carl,
Sorry about the "less than perfect" shave this Berg delivered. She's a beauty for sure. I think you should pamper her awhile longer.

PS: Love the background in your photo

Thanks Robert. I always appreciate your kind thoughtful comments. I'm trying to make my 'backgrounds' reflect the mood of the day and shave. For this one I tried for a Sci Fi theme, to match the 'quote'. I grabbed the 'Basic Science' book my sister bought me for Christmas in 1977 when I was 15. I love those little objects; those memories we all have dotted around us; those things we would grab first in a fire...

What a super sharp tool the Feather AC SS is, I have decided to give over the next month of shaves to this razor, just to take total control and really feel comfortable using this extremely sharp razor, I must say Feather Artist club SS delivered a lovely shave today one pass with a minor touch up. I know ithere's a universal school of thought that says it's easier to start using a straight razor rather than a shavette type razor, but I must admit to liking that level of sharpness.
