Notes: I seem to be going through my no-nonsence razors these days, this is yet another light and ultra sharp shaver. 1 pass and touchup to BBS, great shave.

This made me laugh! A whole conversation was conjured up in my head when I read this..... " uh.....Dad what are you doing?....Son, I'm checking to make sure my face is as smooth as your @##$, Congradulation's on your first BBS!! Love how you describe thing's! I hope your son hasn't been damaged by this. I should post a video of my 2 yr. standing at the sink shaving with an empty Safety razor, you all would have a good laugh.....serious business

Comments: The last few shaves have really picked up a notch. I love being able to hone my small collection, as I get great shaves and have several razors to choose from. This one, in particular, was a rusted, pitted, chipped mess that I used to open boxes until I cleaned it up and threw it in a pair of inexpensive replacent scales. This is exactly what I wanted out of this hobby when I started. Cool...
