Lance Armstrong gave the best description of having all the elements come together back in his heyday, stating that some days the ride was so perfect, it was like there was no chain on the bike. As a bike enthusiast (an old and slow one), I completely understand that statement.

I had a "no chain" shave this morning. Have you had that experience when all the stars align and the lather is perfect, the blade feels flawless, the stroke is smooth and the beard just totally surrenders? What a great way to start the day!
