Welcome! How's it all going? Is it working out?[/QUOTE]

It's going really well. I took the advice of most on th forum and started really slowly to just get used to the razor. I also took it to a guy here in Los Angeles that has been sharpening barber instruments for over 50 years to get a nice edge on my razor. That made all the difference in the world. I may need to find a different aftershave. The wife didn't like the scent of the Pineaud very much, so gotta keep her happy.

Mine hated everything I could find cheaper than the fragrance dept at Macy's until I found Nivea For Men (I think the fragrance is called Energy). It's drug-store-priced, smells vaguely classic, but modern enough to not get the "you smell like my dad" comments.

I actually got "you smell like my Grandpa" with the Pineaud, so that one must be really classic. Personally, I liked it, and it really stayed with me all day.

LOL...Hope this isn't to out there, but the first thing that ran through my head was. "If she tells you that you smell like grampa and she has "daddy issues" then your in there...LMAO

Dude, that's funny! No daddy issues, though, thank god! Been married 14 years without a fight, and I don't plan on the first one being about aftershave...

So, the mailman brought me something special today, and I just ripped the package and went straight for a shave.

It is a close to 10/8 made by Robert Williams, based on a sketch I drew for him to work from.
He made it a half hollow, but at this size, that equals a singing hollow.
It was like adding butter to a well done slice of toast

The result?

Birnando,
That is extremely beautiful! Congrats!
