I haven't used this razor for a while and wasn't sure how the edge was.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the edge was superb.
A two pass BBS, cant ask for much more than that.

Have a great week fellas, thanks for the posts and pics

Have a Great Sunday Gents !

How do you like the old school manual clippers? One day I suspect I'll probably fall victim to their advances but at the moment I'm far to busy to pic up another distraction.

Hah! I love the old school Oster Clippers
They were my dad's from the 60's Barber school.
I use the to keep my sideburns short and the hair over my ears between haircuts
Thanks for askin
