Great shave with this setup. The Bolzano used to be raved about. Had a couple come to me to use. They are nice and smooth but not the sharpest for me. Have a great day Cadre !!

Bolzono blades are interesting to me. I will use it one time and get a great shave. Use a different blade at another time and get a not so great shave. Not sure if it quality control or if it is me (it's probably me). Either way, nice set up and great shave today Dave!

Back to the island with Sam. Mind you Sam's a great guy and I enjoy his company, but the longer he's on the island the more awkwardly long his staring at my ankles is getting.

Anyway a great shave with the Williams loaded the KJ Method ( @Spider ) This is a little messy but can be done and the lathers obtained are worth the extra rinsing. Got the G Injector out for a spin and I actually for a fleeting moment was thinking to myself. I could use this every day from here on out and be happy..........................................Fleeting moment I said. Nope, the shaves would be great no doubt but I'd always be wanting to try something else for variety. I should narrow things down though............................I said I should, I don't see it happening in earnest but perhaps some shuffling of the den is in order for.........................................you know, some order. Smelling good and resting today after doing a big house yesterday for a whining persistent regular customer. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Are you regretting inviting me over here?:p
I wouldn't start taking my "counsel" too seriously Dave. Many would say that is a mistake. At least two have had to hire lawyers to get rid of me. :rolleyes: But they were women. So something might have be lost in translation.
