Been a wild weather day. They say gusts up to 50mph at the airport. It hasn't been cold, but rain downpours blowing through, then sun. Would rather the rain than the howling winds. Supposed to mellow out tomorrow just in time to go back to work.

I’m opting out.l. Have never used a shavette or straight. I have zero interest in going through the inevitable learning curve. For those who choose to, enjoy your shaves.

Video posted. This was the first time I could get a shave with the Wilkinson shavette without a cut. I'm challenging all the shaving challenge guys to shave with this thing and see how you do. Barber Dave volunteered to be the first one. Who is next? @Majorrich @Spider @GearNoir @CBLindsay @Graybeard57

Well, I do have a video that's working on being uploaded. It's been uploading since I got to work. The free guest wifi is pointless for uploading here, so I'm doing it on cellular. Trouble is, one of the little punks at home was video chatting friends and the wifi wasn't working so well. So she turning on her phone's hotspot and used that. Then fell asleep with it on and used up all our high speed hotspot data which apparently then throttles your data until the next cycle. So this thing may or may not upload before I get home and just do it there.

Can I ask, how is that shavette different from other half blade shavettes ?? Honestly it looks kind of normal / similar to some I already have...

It's heavier, thicker, and I think the blade isn't set in from the edge of the head or whatever you call the part that holds it. So the 90 degree corner of the blade has more exposure to your poor skin.
