Shaved off a Norton 8000 edge tonight. Simply because I want to test a new Thuri and I want a point of reference to compare it to.
The 8K edge was pretty good actually. If I had to I could live with it.

Thanks for the great posts and pics boys

I love the scent on that one, but my face always reacts violently to it.

I have the same issue but the the CF lavender one. The lime works perfect.

Mama Bear Orange Orange - Semogue LEFB1 - 6/8 Revisor - GFT Marlborough

I didn't shave on Sunday or Monday, which meant that todays shave was a fantastic one. It's a bit of a shame that this Marlborough is no longer made as it's one I would buy a full bottle of if it were.

In other news, three weeks after my knee started giving me trouble, one GP visit, one MRI and roughly 250 bucks later I still don't know whats wrong with my knee. The MRI didn't show up any problems but there is a tiny chance it was a false negative (2-3% chance). I now have to do nothing strenuous with my knee for a few weeks to see if time will help heal it. If not I'll be having a camera put in to find out what the problem is.

Met a client and used all unpaved ways to him...
