    She's running a tab. What I spend on guns, bows and razors she gets to spend on whatever she wants. It shipped this morning so I hope it gets here around wed.

    Not sure yet. We joked that I had 10 years to make it official and it took 5 of that for me to give her a ring lol. So, I've been telling her I still have 5 more years but she's not buying that one.

    Ok guys got home from my final day of therapy and there was a package waiting for me. I'll try to get pics posted tomorrow ( if I can figure it out )but here's the shave report. Had 5 days of growth waiting for this razor so I lathered up using the Bigelow and glycerin wiped off the razor rinsed it off and had at it. I didn't do like Lynn says and just do one side I did the whole thing. Right hand and left hand no real problems just too awhile figuring out the best way to manuever things so the Bigelow and glycerin was drying out so I grabbed my soap mug and relathered with it. Other than a couple small nicks which honestly are the same spots I sometimes nick while using my DE all went well. I think those were caused by just a tad too much angle on the chin. The only problem spots I really need to work on are the upper lip and chin everything else even the neck was pretty easy. As for my initial impression of the razor well honestly I can compare it since it was my first shave with a str8 but I think the razor is very good quality. I might have to get a 5/8 to see if size makes a difference and that would really only seem to matter under the nose. Strop seems like a good quality piece I stropped the razor after I shaved and am glad I got the 3" as stropping was easy. I did notice while cleaning the razor after the shave that there was just a very small burr on the edge in spots but after the stropping it's smooth all the way across the edge. Not sure how much of that accounted for some of the tug on my face but I have tough facial hair anyway. I did not strop the razor until after shaving per everyones advice. I'm going to wait till friday to shave so there is a small amount of growth and see how it shaves since it's been stropped. Hopefully I can get pics posted tomorrow.
