    What do you gents think?
    If ya dont want it... I'll take it..
    I love the shorty challenge.

    Its a perfect candidate IMO

    First shave test this morning before work was awesome. And I was even rushing a little... Just to confirm the shave test, I did the alum block test, no sting at all. Just a Damn Fine Shave!

    Very proud of Ed's work.
