Mikael,

I don't think so, but you never know.

He appears to be a gentleman though, judging from how he tipped his hat to the lady.

Holy Cats! Is she ever smokin hot! The only chick I ever see when I'm watching football on TV is that woman on Fox that looks like Oprah's cousin

Saturday

DE day today. I like using the DE as I can really do three full passes, even sideways on my neck, which I can’t do with a straight. I think it’s really important to remember that three passes isn’t N to S, E to W (or W to E) and S to N. I can’t feel any hairs on my face and neck whatsoever. The Gillette Seven O’clock blades aren’t bad, better I think than the Dorko or Derby, but not as good as the Astra blades. Those are the only blades I’ve used.

I made an Überlather of the C O Bigelow, Proraso and some glycerine, which worked really well. Maybe overkill, but it was nice nevertheless.

Bailey gets out of hospital today from what we hope was his final operation. They needed to resurface the bone in his arm (which is now actually his left fibula) as it hadn’t melded with what was left of his humerus near the shoulder.

Have a great weekend, guys.

I think she's a reporter for Univision.

I would offer to give her a straight razor shave with my Henckels anytime.

All the best to Bailey, we'll be praying for him.

The Bigelow is some good stuff. I almost forgot how good it was until I went back to it the other day.

I used this razor for my last shave. I honed it on Bill's Jnat. I didnt get the buttery edge i was hopeing for. Bill think i needed more laps on the Tomanagura. Im sure that is spelled wrong. LOL! So today i ran it across my LM with oil. This is the first time i went straight to the LM and skipped the DT. WOW She really Smoothed the edge. No irritation at all. Im loving this hone!
