i would just like to take a minute to say thanks to all the folks that routinely put up with and answer my many questions. thanks to you guys and much trial and error i finally have a system that works. not to say I'm the perfect.shaver but with great effort i can now get the results i want.

now that i have a decent base from here I'm going forward. i think i am going to try my first straight restore here soon and also picking u a barber hone to maintain the edge of my straights.

I'm also going to continue trying to improve my technique especially against the grain and especially around my jaw. so you guys are probably going to have to put up with the crazy preacher in training for a while yet.
