Ya, I love the design of this one, but the guy needs to go to the Sorrentino School of Brush Finishes.

As @Maryland998 Ken's friend told Barbie, “suck it up buttercup “.
It really is beautiful. It looks like wood in the pic. Do you know what kind, Dave?
No idea. It's many thin layers of wood with the grain turned 90 degrees on every other layer. And then string wrapped around the top for the accent.

So when I started shaving, I was thinking this is the 3rd shave with this blade. But unlike a DE razor, only one side of the blade was used for the entire shave each time, so in theory, the blade won't last as long. That sure enough. This shave got a little bit tuggy partway through. No huge issue and no alum sting, but when we're looking at getting the best shave every day, the blades will only be used for two shaves per side for me.

That's my goal. The Vector is my instrument of choice.
No lie brother!Guess those “neckle” hairs are pretty tough on a blade

Ooops, forgot to post this. Tried to stick a Schick blade in this morning and it just wasn’t working. Found out it’s just enough wider that it doesn’t float and is bent a bit. Everything was “right as rain” once I got that all sorted out.

Ok, so choosing my kit before the shower so I can take a photo isn't toooo bad so far. Decided to use the best razor in the den again as you can see.
Working from home today as we have a video visit with my daughter's neurologist. That means hot breakfast! I figure a plate full of food isn't bad when most of it is vegetables. The weight loss thing is at a standstill. I guess that's better than moving backward. But still, it would be nice to see a continued downward slope with the change in diet and increased activity. I'm not working out as much as I should, but still getting out for walks during the day. And those walks will be a little longer at least once a week now that I have my FIL's Costco card. I can go can check the whiskey selection once or twice a week

Everyone raves about this razor (which I've never used), but I can't get past its curious handle. Plus, I don't have any desire for another razor. Enjoy your shaves!
It’s slimmed down to save weight like a Ferrari!
