Well i thought i was going to shave this am. I asked my daughter when i got up if she planned to shower. She said no. I was like when i get back from dropping of my son at the bus stop im going to shower and shave. Well i get back she was in the bathroom curling her hair. She said i will only be ten min. Yup! 10+30min later she was done.

So tonight i was able to get the job done. I honed her up a few weeks ago and rescaled her about 6 months ago. 2 passes and i must say this ranks as one of my all time closest shaves and have had many. So this is a BIG WOW!!!!!
