This is my first SOTD post ever! A very special shave so I had to share.

This shave was so special for several reasons (I'm going to do a write up on this tomorrow in another section of the forum). My Fiance bought be a custom from Max for Christmas this year. As if that gift wasn't already perfect - I also happen to live just down the road from Max. What does this mean? I got to actually visit Max in his workshop and watch my razor being built from start to finish. So not only was this special because this razor was a gift, it was special because I feel a lot more connection with this razor than any of my others because I remember when she was just a blank of steel. I think I now know what it's like to have a child.

Needless to say the shave was amazing. Just off the hones from Max's house (he finished it up just a few hours ago). Although, my ears are very afraid of this razor and it's wicked slant point.
