Thank you gentlemen for the kind words and thoughts.
This event was not unexpected or unplanned for. I am grateful that the closing of Dad’s life was free of trauma and suffering.

Tribute to Dad
3/12/22
Dad was always a drug store equipment shaver. The last shaves he did on his own would have been with can gel or foam and Bic disposables.
I recall watching him shave as a youngster and seeing him use stuff like this. The scent of Aqua Velva was unmistakably him.
My methods today were like I surmise he would have done back in the day. Hand applied foam to a wet face with the first pass dialed up a bit, wtg only. A dial down to minimum for cleanup with residual foam and a few splashes of water followed by the Aqua Velva finish. Nothing fancy and all done in a few minutes.
I’m very content with a shave as done by members of this, ”The Silent Generation”

Thanks Dave.
Probably the most difficult thing was the separation caused by the pandemic announcement 2 years before.
When we did get to visit, we could always get him laughing.
Our sincerest prayers to your bill from Chad Chris and myself I sent you a PM as well

Vector Crushing & TSC-Con training
Stirling SS & AS Tuscany flavored
Stirling High Mountain Badger brush
Razorock Hawk V3a SS
Feather Professional Super (1)
Last shave with this piece using a ProGuard left me unimpressed and not close to results I with that “V” thing. I wonder if that stands for VaporRazor. I’d expect further price increases on the oVer priced unaValable V tool based solely on the inability to generate sufficient sales Volume warranting manufacturing efficiencies. I think it will be mighty hard for the darling of the YouTube shavers to be seeing my cash.
Anyhow, today results were as good as I ever ask for and the RRHawk has earned its ticket to Vegas. Can you imagine going to a shave convention at not having the expectation of delivering yourself top level shaves? Not this guy.
Tuscany is a floral unisex scent that I find very pleasant. Just so I could toughen up things I used a small amount of Stirling vetiver switch hazel, something I’ve learned to use sparingly so I don’t smell like a ‘jar of dirt’.
Powder cannoned for the finish.

I’ll sell you my Vector for…..
You are a bit high. I think I could buy the Vapor Razor Company for $999,999.99 and just make one if I wanted it all that bad.
Well don’t say I didn’t offer. I’m here for you pal
