Razor: My Iwasaki Kamisori.

Orange: Off my tree in the back garden.

Have a great day and shave.

That's sort of like a turnip, isn't it?

"Two centuries ago at this bend in the Hudson River, America's first defenders stretched a chain across the river to prevent British ships from dividing and conquering our new Nation. Today we add 1,003 new links to that unbroken chain of America's defenders, 1,003 new and solid segments in the Long Gray Line, a line that stretches back 191 years through your ranks and as far into the future as the Lord lets the United States of America exist. The Long Gray Line has never failed us, and I believe it never will."

Today is a special day for me. 20 years ago, I graduated from West Point and joined the profession of arms as a 2LT in the United States Army. It is only fitting, IMHO, that I commemorate the day with a very special shave. And this one certainly fit the bill!
