Thanked: 485I'd rather have an M60, 7.62 SLR and a Kalashnikov in a post apocalyptic zombie scenario at Deep Creek National park than my Wiener Schaber, that's for sure...yet I would always suggest talking about it as a first option; running as easyace alludes is a close second (though I may be slowed a little by the M60, SLR and Kalashnikov (and amunition))...
I hope you remain safe, easyace, you sound like James Bond or something, you appear to have a very interesting life...Last edited by carlmaloschneider; 11-23-2011 at 07:26 AM.

I don't use this Dahlgren frameback very often but considering the quality of the shaves I get from it, I should.

Heljestrand test shave (Kikuboshi backup) | TFS Bergamot Neroli | Chubby 2 | Knize Ten (Vintage) + Sbaon | Knize Ten
A much better shave with the Heljestrand this time around. The edge was smooth and I was BBS in two passes with touch up. I used the Kikuboshi as a benchmark (and as a backup in case the edge was still not good), and the Heljestrand held its own. The TFS soap is new. I liked it, but I know I need to get to know it a bit better. It had great slickness, but not much cushion. Perhaps a little überlather is in order...
