-outstanding shave, on vacation and took my sweeeeet time. I've said it before, but will repeat it because it's such good Karma-this razor was the razor my barber used going back to the 60's-called it his "workhorse." I remember it shaving the back of my neck when I was a wee lad.

Yes it does only feel like yesterday when i could call him and talk. Sorry your father passed so young. I wish sometimes i had a grave site to vist.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My mother passed away four years ago last Febuary. It's a hard time indeed when our parents (who we thought would live forever) are taken from us.

Sorry for your mother. My father also passed in Feb. Funny thing my Grandmother passed in Feb also. But 22 years prior.

LOVE the scales!!!!

SRD Lavender, Simpson brush, SRD Bowl----COLD Lather!
W&B 5/8 hollow, 60 on Tony Miller
Thayer's AS, Nivea Lotion

Two passes to smooth.

I was really careful not to overdo it on the first pass. After the first pass there was stubble and rough patches. I then did a slow and deliberate, yet light second pass xtg. Smooth all day after the second pass.

Too hot in NJ!!!!
